[Bioperl-l] piping values into an existing GENBANK file

[Alavi, Mohammadali (0313xxx)]

Hello All,
I have a GENBANK file already, to which I need to add some feauture. To be precise, I want to add the data (over the COG function) to the CDSs present in the GENBANK file.  The data (COG functions) I need to add is included in an array in a manner that the first value is the value needed to be added to my first CDS in the GENBANK file, the second value needs to be added to the second CDS in the GENBANK file and so on. I tried to add the data in a tag/value style to the CDSs (as described in HOW TO:Feautures-Annotation provided by Biopel), which actually basically works. The Problem is though, I do not know how I could tell Perl/Bioperl to only take one single value at a time and add it in a tag/value style to a CDS and then take the next (and only the next) value and add it to the NEXT CDS and so on. Here is the code I used. As you see, using the for $item(@array) is not appropriate, since it adds all the values of my array to all CDSs! 
So is there a way of piping in values one after another into CDSs one after another in a file using Bioperl?! or maybe how about another way of doing it in regular Perl? I would appreciate any help on that very much!


Bioperl I'm using: 1.6.1
The Active Perl I'm using : 5.12.4 (on Windows Vista)


#!/bin/perl
use Bio::SeqIO;
use Bio::SeqFeature::Generic;
use warnings;

@COGlist = qw(motility General metabolism nunknown); # think of this as the #array I would like to add the values of to my file, the real one has ofcourse #as many values as the number of CDSs in the GENBANK file 

 
     
 $seqio_object = Bio::SeqIO -> new(-file => "file.gbk", -format => "genbank");
 $seq_object = $seqio_object -> next_seq;
 for $feat_object ($seq_object -> get_SeqFeatures){
 	for $item(@COGlist){ # this would add all elements of the array to all of CDSs and is therefore wrong!
 		$feat_object -> add_tag_value("note", $item); 		
 	}
 	 	 		 	
 	for $tags ($feat_object -> get_all_tags){     	
        print "tag:".$tags . "\n";
        for $values ($feat_object -> get_tag_values($tags)){     	
    print "value: " . $values . "\n";   # as one might imagine this does not give the output I have been looking for :-))
        }
 	  }
 }
