hivq.PL is a Perl script that implements a convenient command-line way to query the Los Alamos National Laboratories' HIV Sequence Database. It uses the same query language as HIVQuery, and employs BioPerl modules.

Please see the sequence query tutorial for help understanding and writing queries. Details of the query language are described here.

A full installation of BioPerl is recommended, but not required. The distribution code contains the required BioPerl modules, which will be installed on your machine if it lacks BioPerl.

Click for full documentation of hivq.PL usage and features. Read the INSTALL and README files that accompany the distribution.

For Windows users, there is an executable file available. Unzip the distribution into any directory, and make sure the file lanl-schema.xml remains in the directory from which you run hivq.exe.
