I don't think the surface area term is decomposable in PB. Also, I don't
think the Perl script prints out the statistics.out file when you are doing
decomposition (MMPBSA.py does, though).

Try MMPBSA.py instead, since that script tends to receive more support on
this list.

Good luck,
Jason

P.S.

GB energies are more easily decomposed than PB energies. Since neither GB
or PB energies are really decomposable, anyway, decomposition energies have
only limited use in certain comparisons between related systems.
 Therefore, using PB does not really offer a more 'reliable' decomposed
