Re^2: How can I retrieve a DNA sequence from online database using perl code?

Marto

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have manually downloaded the modules from cpan and copied the files in the lib folder of perl (v5.10) in my laptop. For some specific reasons, I do not want to change the perl version. Please let me know if there is any way to run the program in perl v5.10.

As mentioned, use cpanm (ideally, or cpan) to install the modules properly. Copying files around isn't going to work for modules which aren't pure perl. If your perl stack is that old your local openssl is likely old enough to cause connectivity problems. Running a modern perl on Windows is trivial with the portable releases Strawberry perl provides, see what the release notes list as coming as standard with the distribution.	[reply]
