This is the base class for the Bio::Phylo package for phylogenetic analysis
using object-oriented perl5. In this file, methods are defined that are
performed by other objects in the Bio::Phylo release that inherit from this
base class (which you normally wouldn't use directly).

For general information on how to use Bio::Phylo, consult the manual (the
Bio::Phylo::Manual manpage).

If you come here because you are trying to debug a problem you run into in
using Bio::Phylo, you may be interested in the "exceptions" system as
discussed in the Bio::Phylo::Util::Exceptions manpage. In addition, you may
find the logging system in the Bio::Phylo::Util::Logger manpage of use to
localize problems.
