[Bioperl-l] Emboss factory script

[Scott Markel]

Shweta,

You should check the return value in line 6.  When we use BioPerl
to control EMBOSS programs we need to set some environment variables.
We set the following: EMBOSS_ROOT, EMBOSS_ACDROOT, EMBOSS_DB_DIR,
EMBOSS_DATA, and PATH.  Not all of the these are needed in every case.
