Great!

Opening a bug report on Bugzilla and adding your diff there is better. It's likely to get lost (i.e., forgotten) if it's in an email.

Also, please have a look at Bio.Entrez (the module formerly known as Bio.WWW.NCBI). It has code for all of NCBI's EUtils, including efetch, except for parsers at this point. This is currently under development. Bio.Entrez is in release 1.45, but there are already some additions in CVS.
