[Bioperl-l] HELP: script cannot find primer3, which has been properly installed

[Brian Osborne]

Zhihua Li,

Your code is correct and code just like it runs correctly on my machine. My
only suggestion is to upgrade your Bioperl core and run packages to version
1.5.1, 1.4 is quite old and 1.5.1 is a significant improvement.
