[Bioperl-l] parsing paml output

[Albert Vilella]

If I remember correctly, there was a way to just parse the output that is
decoupled of running PAML through bioperl.
I am ccing the bioperl mailing list as I've seen people having parsing
issues with some newer versions of PAML.

What version are you trying to parse? Can you attach a small example?
