Drake,
and that you dont have to use Perl API to get the data from BioMart
central portal. Alternatively, you can retrieve the same data over
webservices (XML button on MartView) and just send this XML to BioMart
Central portal. See section "(a) Querying BioMart " on this page:
http://www.biomart.org/martservice.html
HTH,
Syed

Yes, because you will need to include some BioMart modules in your
Perl script that come with the API.
- How do I use the perl API to query biomart?
I can generate the Perl script using the Perl button but how do I
activate and run the script query?
Using the generated Perl scripts that are created by the "Perl
button" is a step in the right direction. You then only need to
execute the script. Lets say your script is called "martquery.pl",
then you can run it via the command "perl martquery.pl" on any
operating system.
