[Bioperl-l] EUtilities pubmed search with [Mesh Terms]

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi?db=pubmed&term=anoxia[mh]+AND+neoplasms[mh]

The above search returns 2124 entries. I try to use the following
bioperl code to do the search. I got an error (see below). Could
anybody let me know how I should modify the bioperl search code to get
the same results?

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Bio::DB::EUtilities;

my $factory = Bio::DB::EUtilities->new(
  -eutil => 'esearch',
  -db => 'pubmed',
  -email => 'mymail at foo.bar',
  -term => 'anoxia[mh] and neoplasms[mh]',
  -retmode => 'xml',
  -retmax => 1000000,
);

print $factory->get_retmax,"\n";
print $factory->get_Response->content;
