Same here (no error). Just ran the below.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use Bio::DB::EUtilities;
my @gi_number = qw(
41395563
31618162
81831839
54038971
);
my $gpeptfactory = Bio::DB::EUtilities->new(
-eutil => 'epost',
-db => 'protein',
-rettype => 'gp',
-retmode => 'text',
-tool => 'VKCDB_Update',
-email => 'wgallin at ualberta.ca',
-id => \@gi_number,
-keep_histories => 1);
my $hist = $gpeptfactory->next_cookie || die "Arghh!";
$gpeptfactory->set_parameters(-eutil => 'efetch',
-history => $hist);
$gpeptfactory->get_Response(-file => '>test.gb');
