[Bioperl-l] tree comparisons with bioperl

I was reading over the functions for working with trees in bioperl. I am
looking for something that will compare two topologies and report back
if they are equivalent. i.e. something like:
does ((a,(b,c)) == ((A,B),C) ? (in this case, no)
But of course in reality they would be more complicated topologies. This
would be useful for simulating random trees to compare with some given
topology of interest.
I saw the methods for testing for monophyly and paraphyly, but not much
beyond that...perhaps I have missed something?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Asher
