Hi,

Unfortunately, this is not possible in a straightforward way.

The problem is that the tree object (Bio::Tree) returned by:
  input = Bio::FlatFile.open(Bio::Newick, "tree.nh")
  tree = input.next_entry.tree

is the parent type of the tree object(Bio::PhyloXML::Tree) required by:

  writer = Bio::PhyloXML::Writer.new("tree.xml")
  writer.write(phyloxml_tree)
