[Bioperl-l] Cannot download/find BPbl2seq module

Wed May 25 20:39:28 UTC 2016

One thing to note: the OAF tools were last released in 2008.  There is some possibility that newer versions of bioperl may or may not work with this; if you run into problems I suggest using one of the older releases:

Oops, I am wrong about this.
There is no such module BPbl2seq in any distribution, there is a module Bio::AlignIO::bl2seq. My guess is this a module created by the author of the oaf tool that uses bioperl under the hood. You can get a missing module error sometimes if the module.is<http://module.is/> present but contains a syntax error.

Jernej, this is a script that should appear in your path if you install bioperl from cpan and choose yes for the question "install scripts?"

Dear BioPerl community,

I am trying to use OAF<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__recode.ucc.ie_oaf_&d=CwMCAg&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=fbHa8Njtvh9VmSnzJxiEUTW9NWDwMMwQAzhgZDO41GQ&m=lZ-hhOvPCYvc0FKTog464lT_a8U5V5oPA1vGbhdsLf0&s=xr8pgZ84k-SeZtJZFfR4w1r2siyiqX0a0x45KGAAJl4&e=> - a Perl-based tool to analyze cDNA data - with a goal to detect antizyme or antizyme-like sequences. The publication describing the tool is available here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov_pubmed_18384676&d=CwMCAg&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=fbHa8Njtvh9VmSnzJxiEUTW9NWDwMMwQAzhgZDO41GQ&m=lZ-hhOvPCYvc0FKTog464lT_a8U5V5oPA1vGbhdsLf0&s=4046e0aT5FC-dIYsOuh21mcAH8NZrt0prB4mtK8cLwU&e=>. I installed Perl (v5.22.2) and BioPerl (v1.6.924) which I believe came with HMMER. I haven't installed FASTA and BLAST locally yet - they are both optional (see this link<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__recode.ucc.ie_oaf_download&d=CwMCAg&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=fbHa8Njtvh9VmSnzJxiEUTW9NWDwMMwQAzhgZDO41GQ&m=lZ-hhOvPCYvc0FKTog464lT_a8U5V5oPA1vGbhdsLf0&s=6pghwi61ZeJQUNpLU0SFi_0dGB2AXkMGadYMd-uM5sY&e=>). What I tried to do next is replicate the "my_sequence" example listed on this website<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__recode.ucc.ie_oaf_download&d=CwMCAg&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=fbHa8Njtvh9VmSnzJxiEUTW9NWDwMMwQAzhgZDO41GQ&m=lZ-hhOvPCYvc0FKTog464lT_a8U5V5oPA1vGbhdsLf0&s=6pghwi61ZeJQUNpLU0SFi_0dGB2AXkMGadYMd-uM5sY&e=> using the attached .pl script and .fasta file, but ended up stuck with the error stating I am missing a necessary BioPerl module -BPbl2seq - which I couldn't download from CPAN. I tried to locate it manually online, but it looks like it doesn't exist anymore. I've talked to some Perl specialists around here and it seems like I should reinstall Perl and BioPerl versions that were present around the time this software was developed (2007/2008) with a rationale that they will carry all the necessary modules including BPbl2seq.

I'd greatly appreciate if you could provide me with some tips on how to proceed. I am working on a Lenovo Yoga PC, 64-bit Windows 8.1.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you and kind regards,
