[Bioperl-l] load_seqdatabase won't

[Hilmar Lapp]

Mike,

did you run the test suite that comes with bioperl-db? Every test  
should pass or there is a problem.

Bio::Ontology::Ontology->new does take arguments, they are apparently  
just not documented. I fixed this (in bioperl). At any rate, arguments  
have no role in locating a method in perl. The use statement should be  
present thoughi in the adaptor, I fixed this as well (in bioperl-db).

If you add the following line

use Bio::Ontology::Ontology;

after the end of the top introductory documentation, where the other  
'use' statements are, will that make your problem go away?

If it doesn't, what happens if you issue

	$ perl -MBio::Ontology::Ontology -e '$obj =  
Bio::Ontology::Ontology->new(-name=>"blah");'

(one single line despite any linebreaks your email reader may pretend  
to you)
