[Bioperl-l] Taxonomy DB problem

[J. Christopher Ellis]

 Hi All,

 I am trying to extract the entire taxonomy of an organism including the
classifications. Some thing like...

Phylum:Proteobacteria, Class:Gammaproteobacteria, Order:Enterobacteriales, Family:Enterobacteriaceae, Genus:Escherichia

I am not worried about format just that I get the information and the associated level of hierarchy. The script found at http://bioperl.org/wiki/Species_names_from_accession_numbers seemed like a good starting point so I copied it and tried run it but got an error.

My first question is "Is there a known fix for this?" and my second question is how do I get the full hierarchical information (as seen above) with the taxonomy db?

Thanks for all your help in advance!

Chris
