[Bioperl-l] bp_genbank2gff3.pl error on last line ("//")

[David Breimann]

Thank you guys. I'm quite new to all this github stuff, so in order to view
to use to updated version should I first update my clone of bioperl-live
(git pull?) then go through the whole build and install again?

Second, I have just noticed that bp_genbank2gff3.pl returns an error when
given a circular genome with a feature that spans the "end" of the genome
(e.g., assume the genome size is 1000np and a feature spans
join(900..1000,1..100).

Finally, is it possible to tell bp_genbank2gff3.pl to extract the features
only (no sequences)? Currently I use the -y flag then delete the fasta file.

Thanks!
