Printing $gene_name produces what I expect (ENSG0000017672) and I am chomping the input.

The error I get is: 

Use of uninitialized value $sequence in concatenation (.) or string at
+ startend-mod3.pl line 48, <FILE1> chunk 1.

Use of uninitialized value $sequence in substr at startend-mod3.pl lin
+e 49, <FILE1> chunk 1

lines 48 & 49 are: 

  print "$sequence\n";
   my $sub_sequence = substr $sequence, ($startres - 11), ($endres - $
+startres + 11);

Thanks again
