The latest CPAN release (v 1.6.922) fixes these issues.

Dear Bioperl people,
I am using BioPerl-1.6.1, and the operating system is Mac OS X version 10.8.5.
I am trying to convert a local GenBank file to GFF file using bp_genbank2gff.pl, using the following command,
$ bp_genbank2gff.pl M21017.gb --stdout > M21017.gff3
And I got the following message, I am not sure if this is an error:
Replacement list is longer than search list at /Users/zhouli/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.18.1/lib/site_perl/5.18.1/Bio/Range.pm line 251.

And the output file M21017.gff3 is attached.

When I test another genbank file

I also got the error message:

The output file is so tedious, the translation is all showing up. But to me, it is not needed.
1. Is there any way to make the output file more succinct without having the translation included?
2. Also, is there any way to split the output file to two files, one is the GFF3 file and the other one is DNA fasta sequence file?
3. When I import the WSSV-AF369029-GenBank.gff3 file to IGV, it displays the protein ID if there is no gene name for the sequence, e.g. those with feature "CDS" display the protein ID, and those with feature "gene" display gene ID, is this the way it works? I want to display the ORF ID, what should I do?
