[Bioperl-l] Uniprot/Swiss accessions?

[Smithies, Russell]

Does anyone know of a way to get GI numbers for Uniprot/Swissprot accessions?

Fasta from Uniprot's FTP site doesn't formatdb correctly (with the -o T option) as it's missing the gi number in the fasta header.
NCBI won't let you use SwissProt ids in batch-entrez and I don't want to have to look up all 466,739 of them.
I could use Bio::DB::Eutilities and query each id but even at 10 queries/second (the limit changed recently) it would take too long.

Any ideas?
Is there a swissprot2gi list somewhere?

Thanx,
