Hi Stephane,

Please remember to copy in the mailing list on replies. In my tests, a
leading space doesn't make any difference to the issue - Bio::SeqIO
still tries to read from the pipe rather than writing to it.

Mark - I have opened an issue on github:
https://github.com/bioperl/bioperl-live/issues/153

I think the issue is the regex in Bio::Root::IO->cleanfile not
recognising a leading pipe character as indicating a "write" filehandle.

Cheers,
Roy.
