Perl Module Bio-Emboss-0.1 released

[Peter Ernst]

Hello,

this is an announcement of the first test release of

Bio::Emboss perl module version 0.1
===================================

This module interfaces to the libraries of the EMBOSS package.

With this module you can access EMBOSS databases and use EMBOSS
functions to manipulate data. You can write perl programs that
look like any other EMBOSS program (command-line, web interface).

SYNOPSIS
      use Bio::Emboss qw(:all);

      embInitPerl("seqret", \@ARGV);

      $seqall = ajAcdGetSeqall("sequence");
      $seqout = ajAcdGetSeqoutall("outseq");

      $firstonly = ajAcdGetBool ("firstonly");

      while ($seqall->ajSeqallNext($seq)) {
          $seqout->ajSeqAllWrite ($seq);

          last if $firstonly;
      }

DOWNLOAD
    ftp://genome.dkfz-heidelberg.de/pub/emboss/perl/

    and CPAN (soon)

REQUIREMENTS
    EMBOSS-2.5.1 (including sources)
    (I don't know if it will work with earlier versions.)

STATUS
    There are interfaces to most (but not all) functions in
    libajax. There are only a few interfaces to functions in
    libnucleus.
    Most functions have *not* been tested yet (Emboss is big !),
    however a few test scripts are provided.
