[Bioperl-l] CGI and BioPerl Re: Bioperl-l Digest, Vol 71, Issue 6

[Chris Fields]

Sanjay,

This needs to stay on the list for archiving.

I'm unsure about how CGI works on Windows but several things about  
this script appear fundamentally incorrect.  Are you trying to comment  
out lines c-style?  Perl comments start with '#'.  Also, under 'use  
strict' you must declare scope on all variables using 'my', 'our',  
etc.  You also don't 'use Bio::DB::RefSeq' (a compile-time fail) and  
'use DBI' w/o actually using DBI.

I'll say this nicely: I'm wary about proceeding with this further  
unless you can establish you understand some of the basic fundamentals  
of Perl programming.  The issues above make me think you need to brush  
up on that a bit.
