You'll want to always reply to the list as well.  I would say update  
to a newer version; many changes have been made to parsing GenBank/ 
SwissProt/EMBL since rel 1.4, including dblinks.  If you're using  
windows you'll need to follow the instructions on the website for the  
latest release candidate:

http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Installing_Bioperl_on_Windows

Note that the release candidates are located in a different  
repository, so you'll need to set that up to find them.
