THANK YOU ALL!

I am happy to say that the problem I had been having is now fixed. I am, however, embarrassed by what was causing the problem. I was careless when my boss asked me to find a region of the contig for her by hand and actually entered notes in the sequence file its self. Being that the file is 551 pages of pure text, I did not remember/notice the additions when I looked at the result of the editcontig() sub to look for problems.

Thanks again to all of you for your help and reminding me to verify anything that I edit before taking for granted that all went as planned.

I have been converted, evangelized even to a believer in the PerlMonk society and will most assuredly be bugging you nice people in the future!

one last thank you and I will end... THANK YOU!
