[Bioperl-l] I can't access clustalw from my cgi perl program...

[Mauricio Herrera Cuadra]

You're using '>out.aln.pfam' as the full path for the output file. Most 
probably, the file is being produced but in the same location where the 
CGI script lives. Check inside the same directory where you installed 
your script.
