[Bioperl-l] looks like a Bio::SeqIO error

[Chris Fields]

As mentioned in the thread by Kevin, using LargeSeq may not be the  
best route as it generates a tmpdir/tmpfile for each sequence, so you  
are probably reaching a hard limit for the number of temp files for  
your system or for File::Temp.  The oddity is one or the other (or  
both) are not removed, so I think this is a legit bug.

Regardless, there's a good reason this hasn't been encountered  
before.  If you have ~30,000 sequences that you extract subseqs from  
you should seriously consider using a flat file db such as  
Bio::DB::Fasta or similar.  It is capable of handling very large  
sequences or files and can extract subseqs easily.
