[Bioperl-l] alignment by TCoffee as a subroutine

[sergei ryazansky]

Hi Albert,

The isolated call is executed without any problem, so the code is  
absolutely correct. The problem arise when this sub executed within the  
whole script - after successful execution of TCoffee alignment the  
execution of the rest of script is terminated. The whole code is very big  
(~500 lines), so for simplicity lets imagine the sheme of script in the  
following view:
sub1;
sub2;
sub3;
sub align;  # TCoffe alignment;
sub4;
sub5;

Each sub (subroutine) is independent from the others subs; The order of  
script execution is 1,2,3,align,4,5. But after the execution of align the  
execution of the rest of subs (4 and 5) is terminated. The script without  
sub align {} successfully execute the sub 4 and sub 5. So, I mean that  
interpreter won't compile sub 4 and 5 if sub align is placed before them.
