Hi monks !

I found the explanation of a bug but don't know how to resolve it !!

I'm using a perl API from ensembl (it's an API to deal with the genomic annotation of genomes) and for each release of the ensembl database, they release a new API that reflects changes in the DB structure, so your code still works.
In brief, you HAVE TO use the same API version as the genome version you want to use.

In my case, i want to offer to the user the choice of the genome version to use. A form is posted to my script, and then i was trying to do something like that : 
my $version = "something from the post"
use lib "/commun_path/$verion/ensembl/modules";
use Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry;

[download]
Of course, that doesn't work because $version isn't initialized at compile time. But I can't get the version from the post before runtime, so is there a way to do that ?
Thanks,

Marcel
