[Bioperl-l] genbank to fasta conversion

[Mgavi Brathwaite]

Hello,

I have previously converted multiple genbank files to fasta. For some reason
I am having trouble with this simple script.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Bio::SeqIO;

open (my $inFile, "C:/Documents and Settings/mydir/Desktop/TARGETING.gb");
open (my $outfile, ">C:/Documents and Settings/mydir/Desktop/TARGET.fa");
my $in  = Bio::SeqIO->new('-file' => "$inFile" ,
                           '-format' => 'GenBank');
my $out = Bio::SeqIO->new('-file' => "$outfile" ,'-format' => 'Fasta');
print $out $_ while <$in>;

I keep getting the error:
------------- EXCEPTION: Bio::Root::Exception -------------
MSG: Could not open GLOB(0x36a214): No such file or directory
STACK: Error::throw

-----------------------------------------------------------

I am probably missing something simple, but would appreciate any help.
