[Bioperl-l] Problems with EMBL entries and fasta IDs?

[michael watson (IAH-C)]

Hi

I'm using bioperl-1.4.  I did do a google search fro this but couldn't
find anything.  If this is fixed in 1.5.2 then forgive me.

I'm getting a warning:

MSG: No whitespace allowed in FASTA ID [unknown id]

When trying to convert from EMBL format to fasta.  The offending
sequence is CK234114:

ID   CK234114; SV 1; linear; mRNA; EST; VRT; 244 BP.
XX
AC   CK234114;

cDNA
DE   Library SB01 Taeniopygia guttata cDNA clone SB010002000A01 5', mRNA
DE   sequence.
Etc

Any advice?
