[Bioperl-l] Bioperl support for AGAVE xml

Hi Brian,

Ok, thanks for clearing that up.  Should we update that sentence then?

At the moment, I'm using regexps to parse the XML (similar to the tigr.pm
module).  I noticed that game.pm uses XML::Parser::PerlSAX.  Should I use this
one instead of the regexps?

Yes, I'd like agave.pm added to CVS so I can commit changes/additions as they
come up.

Let me know if you have any other comments/suggestions...

Thanks.
