Thank you Jason,
i figured that out yes :)
I know am wandering how to get the GI list so i can download by ID or 
ACC and not by query when i download fasta. I have the simple code:
-------------
my $query_str='Caenorhabditis elegans[organism] AND refseq[filter]';
my $query=Bio::DB::Query::GenBank->new(-db=>'protein',
                                        -query=>$query_str);

my $count=$query->count;
my @ids=$query->ids; <------- error msg here
------------
but i get an error msg:

MSG: Id list has been truncated even after maxids requested.

How can i get the ID/ACC? Any idea?

Thank you
Dimitar
