[Bioperl-l] Bio::Perl::get_sequence for Swiss-Prot doesn't work

[Chris Fields]

This was a recent bug due to recent changes in EBI's remote database; they
changed the name of the database from 'swall' to 'uniprot'.  Update to
bioperl-live from CVS (or just Bio::DB::SwissProt) and that should fix it.
