[Bioperl-l] Bioperl support for AGAVE xml

[Brian Osborne]

Simon,

I'll fix the documentation in various places once your module is in CVS and
working. Regarding the parser: I'm not making any recommendations, I asked
because there have been suggestions at various times to reduce the number of
different XML parsers used by Bioperl, we just didn't want to see your
module using yet-another-one!

It sounds like you don't have your own CVS account. Do you anticipate
continuing to work on this and other modules or did you just want me to
commit your code?

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.
