[Bioperl-l] Workbench3 to have das functionality?

[Lincoln Stein]

Good news about the Workbench!

As it happens, yesterday I wrote a perl-based das client library for
testing purposes.  It connects to multiple servers and draws pretty
pictures.  I still have to write the CGI/mod_perl wrapper for it to
make it easy to use on the web, but I'll go ahead and add it to the
DAS CVS repository this week so that people can play with it.
