  Description     : BioPerl interface to the Entrez Programming Utilities (E-utilities)

The Bioperl project is a coordinated effort to collect computational
methods routinely used in bioinformatics into a set of standard
CPAN-style, well-documented, and freely available Perl modules.  This
package provides a programatic interface to NCBI's Entrez Programming
Utilities commonly refered to as E-utilities.  Namely, it provides the
Bio::DB::EUtilities and Bio::Tools::EUtilities perl modules.

Entrez is a federated search engine at the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI) for a large number of databases
covering a variety of biomedical data, including nucleotide and
protein sequences, gene records, three-dimensional molecular
structures, and the biomedical literature.  E-utilities are a set of
eight server-side programs that provide a stable interface into the
Entrez query and database system at the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
