[Bioperl-l] EUtilities Cookbook example fails

[Chris Fields]

Adam,

Okay, fixed that and the previous issue with 'use an undefined value  
as an ARRAY reference'.  The previous issue appears to be due to a  
change in the XML output from NCBI (it used to give the IDs at one  
point).  Also made the wiki changes for this; didn't take long to find  
everything.

Thanks for pointing that out!  If you find any more issues feel free  
to make the necessary changes on the wiki or point them out if they're  
in code.
