[Bioperl-l] GenBank ASN.1 SeqIO parser

[Ryan Golhar]

That's what I thought too.  However, I'm getting errors with a parser.

I found Bio::ASN1::EntrezGene online and am using that module outside of 
Bioperl as it works well for what I'm doing.

I've already changed my code and don't want to deal with tracking down 
the errors I had with BioPerl (I've already spend enough time on this) 
but they were easy enough to reproduce.
