[Bioperl-l] parsing KGML files

Unless something changed, KGML itself is not XML but HTML-like. I  
think there are XML conversions for some KGML files at KEGG.

Unfortunately we don't have the facility within bioperl to parse KGML,  
but I have used HTML::Parser for KGML in the (distant) past with some  
success.
