[Bioperl-l] Bio::Structure with CGI!

[Jason Stajich]

You can do what you want with the
my $filehandle = IO::String->new($pdbdata_in_strin);

new Bio::Structure::IO(-fh => $filehandle,
			... other initialization stuff here
			 )

All Bioperl modules which do IO (that use Bio::Root::IO) support this
feature.
