NAME

Bio::Phylo::Parsers::Tolweb - Parser used by Bio::Phylo::IO, no serviceable parts inside

DESCRIPTION

This module parses Tree of Life data. It is called by the Bio::Phylo::IO facade, don't call it directly. In addition to parsing from files, handles or strings (which are specified by the -file, -handle and -string arguments) this parser can also parse xml directly from a url (-url => $tolweb_output), provided you have LWP installed.
