[Bioperl-l] GI to taxonomy

[Brian Osborne]

Chris,

Something odd is happening, this can't be right:

161:	    $self->_initialize(@args);
162==>	    return $self;
163 	}
164 	
165 	
166 	sub _initialize {
167:	  my($self) = shift;
168 	
  DB<6> p $self->entrez_url
source

I'll look into this tonight …
