[Bioperl-l] rebase file withrefm

The default restriction information is embedded in Bio::Restriction::IO::Base, not downloaded. That is, look at the bottom of the file bioperl-live/Bio/Restriction/IO/base.pm, and you'll see the default set hardcoded there.

It works in my hands. Here's example code

which should produce the output
EcoRI is: G^AATTC

(along with a trivial warning on STDERR)



If you absolutely want to work from the latest downloaded rebase file, you probably will want to download the file yourself and pass it directly to RestrictionIO, a la:

my $re_io = Bio::Restriction::IO->new(-file => 'mydownloadedREBASEfile', -format=>'withrefm');
