[BioPerl] Re: [Bioperl-l] How to check the validity of an accession number ?

Mark,

Jason's cvs commit note:

"properly throw an error when no sequences are retrieved for a query --
cannot distinguish between errors and non-connections though at this
point, but this makes t/Perl.t now properly run when network is
disconnected [during an ice storm]"
