Jernej,

Can you show us this error message?

There is a module called Bio::Tools::BPbl2seq, but from very old versions of BioPerl, it’s not found in recent versions.

The publication describing the tool is available here <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18384676>. 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 <http://recode.ucc.ie/oaf/download>). What I tried to do next is replicate the "my_sequence" example listed on this website <http://recode.ucc.ie/oaf/download> 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.
