[Bioperl-l] problem with Bioperl get_sequence ('swiss', "acc#");

[Chris Fields]

The Fink BioPerl distribution is 1.5.1.  You'll need to update to v  
1.5.2 due to changes on the various remote servers (NCBI, UniProt,  
etc) accessed via bioperl.

As a note, the bptutorial.pl has been moved to the bioperl wiki:
