[Bioperl-l] indexing and accessing local database

[Jason Stajich]

okay I can reproduce it with a real file, let's see what is going on.

First off - the tutorial needs to be revamped to reflect this - always
'use strict';

If I use strict and turn warnings on, I have no problem.
Do that first.

I'm not sure why this is failing so horribly with strict off but it works
when I do that and use 'my' to declare the variables.
