[unclassified] [MOBY-dev] Some Perl warnings in registerService with secondaries

[Mark Wilkinson]

Hi José,

Thanks for the bug report!  I'm glad someone else is using the secondary 
parameter code - up to now, I think only our friends at the Pasteur 
institute were using them, but the more eyes/fingers we have testing 
these the better!

Could you please do a CVS update so that your error messages line up 
with the current codebase?  that will make it easier to debug.  e.g. in 
my copy of the code, line 948 is blank, so it should not be throwing the 
error you indicate below.

I will continue exploring the problem until I hear back from you.

Cheers!

M
