[Bioperl-l] Homologene parser?

[neeti somaiya]

Hi,

For now I am using the homologene parser available here :-
http://bioinformatics.tgen.org/brunit/software/bioparser/docs/pod_bio_parser_homologene_fileparser_pm.shtml
,
for parsing the homologene.data file. But the README at the ftp site says
HOMOLOGENE.XML has much more data, I am still to see how to parse this one.
