Append was working at some point (on Mac OS X). Just curious, what OS
are you using?
Regardless, there is some hacky code in get_Response to deal with
possible filename issues, but I'll change that to delegate to a
Bio::Root::IO for consistency, just in case. Also, so it's available
as an internal workaround, I'll add in a -fh (filehandle) option.
As a current workaround, you could open a file handle on your own and
just print to it:
open(my $fh, '>>', 'mydata.gb');
# later in a loop
while (...) {
print $fh $eutil->get_Response();
}
