I modified the simple example script from biomart-plib. It's attached.
(The registry file is just a copy of the default one.)

When I try to run it, I get the results below. If I delete
hsapiens_gene_ensembl_structure.exon_stable_id from @names, it works
just fine and gives me ID & description for the two genes (although
there's two copies of BRCA2. Hm). Why am I getting a web server error by
adding an extra attribute?

In order to avoid you rhaving to answer more questions... is there a
good biomart-plib tutorial or documentation to read? Obviously I can
look at the POD, but that's too detailed. And I can look at the sample
files, but there are only a few - and they don't explain general
concepts anyway.

Thanks,
