Hi, 

I trying to run VEP 2.2 with Ensembl API 64 but I ran into this error:

$ perl variant_effect_predictor_2.2.pl  --help

------------------------------
If I comment lines from 479 to 483 , the script seems to work but I don't
know how this would affect the final output.

What do you think the cause of the error? Is it save to keep lines 479-483
commented out?

Cheers,
