Re: I can't access clustalw from my cgi perl program...

ok thanks, its not giving me any error now, but its not doing anything too, the
following code works from commandline but not from my cgi script. I have added
the path to bioperl and have tried everything else that I could find...

        my  $in  = Bio::AlignIO->new(-file   => $inputfilename ,
				-format => 'fasta');
	my $out = Bio::AlignIO->new(-file   => ">out.aln.pfam" ,
				-format => 'pfam');

	while ( my $aln1 = $in->next_aln() ) {
		$out->write_aln($aln1);
	}

output file is not produced. what should I do?

thanks
