Sure you do.

If something stops working, go back and look at what worked. Your OP had: 

my $gb=new Bio::DB::GenBank;

[download]
Now this is actually deprecated syntax and should be written as: 
my $gb = Bio::DB::GenBank->new();

[download]
... but either style shows the point: you need to call the new() method to get an instance of the class Bio::DB::GenBank, aka, an object, and store it in $gb. Your existing code just assigns the bareword 'Bio::DB::GenBank' to $gb -- or tries to, but barewords are not allowed in your script because you're sensibly using strict. This is a great example of why to use strict: it tells you exactly what the problem is and where to find it.

Also, don't use File::Slurp, it's broken. Use File::Slurper or Path::Tiny.

Hope this helps!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
