[Bioperl-l] locuslink - gene positions?

[Fontaine, Burr R]

I am trying to mirror portions of Locuslink and have figured out how to get all of the data elements I need from the locuslink module except for the gene starting postion (in bp coordinates). Chromosome coordinates would be best but contig coordinates are OK if there is a way to convert them. I've looked at the location modules but don't see any obvious answers there. Can someone help me figure out the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance for your help.
