[Bioperl-l] retrieve ensembl sequence using bioperl

[Chris Fields]

Note that you can't retrieve ***Ensembl*** seqs from bioperl, but you  
can get seqs from ***EMBL*** (two different beasts; the example code  
below is for EMBL retrieval).  You can use the ensembl perl API to  
retrieve seqs from ensembl, though.
