How To Use Bioperl

Question

[Sahil]

Hello Friends , I have recently started Perl programming and I want to use Bioperl codes in my program,

I have installed bioperl.

I would like to know how to go about using the modules ?? Bioperl uses object oriented programming so Do i have to specifically read and understand each object and methods in the modules before using them ???

Can anyone please give me an idea about how to get started ?? i have tried www.bioperl.org for an overview but it didn't help me much.

Do you have any experience in object oriented programming?

Yes, you will have to learn the BioPerl API to use it in your scripts. Best way is to learn by example. There are plenty of sample scripts in the BioPerl getting started guides:

Agreed: there is an enormous amount of practical documentation at the Bioperl website. Look harder.
