== 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 objectTypes ==

* 584 in total [[BR]]
* 123 has services (rest are output data types) [[BR]]

== MOBY Client in G-language GAE ==

MOBY Client implemented in G-language GAE, developed during this hackathon, is available in [http://www.g-language.org/wiki/changelog#v.1.8.2_2008.02.27 release 1.8.2].
