[Bioperl-l] One more about swiss parsing

[Elia Stupka]

Another question... we don't store the molecular weight and the crc64 
given in the swissprot file. Of course molecular weight is easy to get 
using the module in bioperl. CRC64 is a little trickier because at the 
moment it is not encapsulated in a standalone module but in an internal 
method of swiss.pm...

a)why not store them while we are parsing the file so that they don't 
need to be calculated if people want to dump them

b)why not put the crc64 cryptic code in a tools module?

Ciao

Elia
