[Bioperl-l] Problem with Bio::PopGen::Individual

[Jason Stajich]

Hi Sheri -

Shoot - that was my fault - bug in the code where I was only using  
"Person" not Individuals for the code when I was testing.

I've commited a bugfix to CVS - do you need me to send you the  
updated file or are you comfortable grabbing the code from CVS or  
http://code.open-bio.org

This is the change - you may have a different version of BioPerl than  
what is in CVS so you may have to make the changes on line 260 rather  
than 282 -- or you can upgrade to latest code via CVS (although this  
is probably harder for you since you've got stuff installed in /usr/ 
share)':

RCS file: /home/repository/bioperl/bioperl-live/Bio/PopGen/ 
Population.pm,v
retrieving revision 1.22
diff -r1.22 Population.pm

<       unshift @tosplice, $i if( $namehash{$ind->person_id} );

 >       unshift @tosplice, $i if( $namehash{$ind->unique_id} );
