[Bioperl-l] invalid species name error handling

[Heikki Lehvaslaiho]

Stefano,

If you want to ignore the error, you need to put the offending line(s) inside 
an eval block. 

The following example is from 'perldoc -f eval':

eval {
    $answer = $a / $b;
};
warn $@ if $@;


Note the ';' after the curly bracket closing teh eval block.
