[Bioperl-l] BioPerl object deep copy

[Chris Fields]

As Spiros points out, Clone works in almost all cases and is very fast  
(XS-based I think).  IIRC the only time it borks out is if there is a  
code ref, as with Bio::Tree::Tree, but if it doesn't work you should  
get an error indicating the problem.
