[Bioperl-l] error from GenBank

[Stefan Weckx]

hi all,

does anybody have experience with this:

I'm retrieving data from GenBank (protein/nucleotide) using 
Bio::DB::Query::GenBank within a loop, based on a list of taxonomy ids 
referring to bacterial strains. In case there is no data in GenBank for 
a certain strain, I get an error message (see below) and the script 
terminates ... which is not the behaviour I would like to see, since 
there are still other taxid's waiting for being queried ...

more specifically, the Bio::DB::Query::GenBank query itself runs ok, 
only while extracting data with e.g. "my $count = $query->count" the 
error message appears and the script terminates.

Suggestions to work around this are welcome!

cheers
Stefan
