[Bioperl-l] How to print a generic matrix?

[Sam Al-Droubi]

Hi Everyone,
    
    I am using the using Bio::Matrix::Generic module to create my own  matrices (not reading from a file) but I am having troubles printing  them with Bio::Matrix::IO module.  I tried using both write_matrix  and print function without success.  I get the following error  when I use print.
    
    saldroubi at ude:~/Documents/p2020> perl matrix_print.pl
    Can't locate object method "write_tree" via package  "Bio::Matrix::IO::scoring" at  /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6  /Bio/Matrix/IO.pm line 262.
  
  The sample code is below.  Ideally I want to print to STDOUT not  to a file but I was trying to follow the example in the documentation.
  Any idea what I am doing wrong.   I using bioperl 1.5.1.
  
  Of course, I could write my own print function but why should I reinvent the wheel.
  
  Thank you.

          [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ]
        ];
  
  my $matrix = new Bio::Matrix::Generic(-values     => $raw,
