Bio::PopGen::IO 1.4

Bio::PopGen::IO contains input individual,marker,allele information.

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::PopGen::IO;
my $io = new Bio::PopGen::IO(-format => csv,
-file => data.csv);

# Some IO might support reading in a population at a time

my @population;
while( my $ind = $io->next_individual ) {
push @population, $ind;
}

This is a generic interface to reading in population genetic data (of which there really isnt too many standard formats). This implementation makes it easy to provide your own parser for the data. You need to only implement one function next_individual. You can also implement next_population if your data has explicit information about population memberhsip for the indidviduals.
