[Bioperl-l] Local flat file implementation of Bio::DB::Taxonomy

[Brian Osborne]

Gabriel,

You had a couple of little errors in your script but once fixed it worked
fine:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w


use strict;

use lib "/Users/bosborne/bioperl-live";

use Bio::DB::Taxonomy;



my $nodesfile = "nodes.dmp";

my $namefile = "names.dmp";

my $db = new Bio::DB::Taxonomy(-source => 'flatfile',

-nodesfile => $nodesfile,

-namesfile => $namefile);


my $taxonid = $db->get_taxonid('Homo sapiens');


# Here, $taxonid is 9606. However,


my $species = $db->get_Taxonomy_Node(-taxonid => $taxonid);


print $species->common_name;


This is using bioperl-live on Mac OSX, Perl 5.8. Are you on Windows? If so
then do "-directory => C:/temp", see what happens.
