by Kazuharu Arakawa and Hiroyuki Nakamura (G-language Project, Institute for Advanced Biosciences, Keio University) == MOBY Client == Current !BioMoby release for Perl (http://biomoby.org/PerlReleases/) distributes Client and Server codes together, with several required external CPAN/non-CPAN modules. Majority of the users would just want the client code, so we have put together a Client-only package, using Module::Install so that it automatically installs required CPAN modules upon ''make''. Edward has already uploaded the module to CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/~ekawas/MOBY-Client-1.0/lib/MOBY/Client/Central.pm) so users can easily install MOBY-Client by the following command: {{{ sudo cpan MOBY::Client::Central }}} == Testing MOBY services == Out of 39 services that can be used with NCBI gi: * 5 returned 404 NOT FOUND[[BR]] * 10 returned mobyException (mostly java.lang.exception, or Perl errors)[[BR]] * only 16 returned some sort of response.[[BR]] == MOBY objetctTypes == * 584 in total [[BR]] * 123 has services (rest are output data types) [[BR]]
