[Bioperl-l] How to retrieve introns / exons from EMBL?

[Ole Schulz-Trieglaff]

I tried several accession numbers like: D86967, L15409, AF169284 and
many more. But none of these entries carries an "exon" feature. This
seems strange to me. Are the informations about exon/introns saved in a
different way in EMBL ?
