           Summary: sreformat.pl requires the -i flag to run
           Product: Bioperl
           Version: 1.4 branch
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: bioperl-guts-l at bioperl.org
        ReportedBy: mmokrejs at ribosome.natur.cuni.cz


Despite the --help documentation one has to use the -i flag to make
sreformat.pl run, otherwise it probably silently exits doing nothing
(bioperl-1.42).

The command-line which works is:

sreformat.pl -if embl -of genbank -i - -o $n.gb


Please, update the runtime documentation or at least builtin checks so that the
utility will die when user supplies a wrong format name while displaying
supported formats. For example, 'GenBank' versus 'genbank' or 'gb'. Thanks.
