[ensembl-dev] Is Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry needed to connect to database?

[Mahmood Naderan]

Hello,
I finished installing the API according to
http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/api/api_installation.html

As I wrote a simple script to connect to the database, I get this error

Can't locate Bio/EnsEMBL/Registry.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.14.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.14.2
/opt/perl/lib/5.14.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /opt/perl/lib/5.14.2 .) at
test.pl line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 1.


That is correct because there is no Bio::EnsEMBL in the cpan list.

[root at cluster ~]# /opt/perl/bin/cpan -a | grep Bio::EnsEMBL
[root at cluster ~]#


It has not been stated in the installation guide that such package is
needed. What should I do?
Is it OK to run "cpanm Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry"? I want to be sure that it
is safe to do that.

P.S: Sorry for sending a lot of questions. These may seems obvious and easy
to solve, but for a newbie it takes a while to boot!


Regards,
Mahmood
