[Bioperl-l] Parsing EMBL records

I've got some output from "newcpgreport" that looks like embl format but
I'm having trouble parsing it.
One of the reasons might be because of this warning but I'm not sure.
	-------------------- WARNING ---------------------
	MSG: Got a sequence with no letters in it cannot guess alphabet
[]
	---------------------------------------------------

I need to get it into gff or tabbed format and don't want to have to
resort to Perl regexes to do it.
Has anyone got some example code for parsing embl or swiss output I
could borrow?

The "newcpgreport " output looks like this:
-----------------------------------------------------
ID   BTA28  46084206 BP.

DE   CpG Island report.
XX
CC   Obs/Exp ratio > 0.60.
CC   % C + % G > 50.00.
CC   Length > 200.

Any help greatly appreciated  :-)
