Bio::DB::MeSH - Term retrieval from a Web MeSH database
my $mesh = new Bio::DB::MeSH(); my $term = $mesh->get_exact_term('Butter'); print $term->description;
This class retrieves a term from the Medical Subject Headings database by the National Library of Medicine of USA. See http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/meshhome.html.
This class implements Bio::SimpleAnalysisI and wraps its methods under get_exact_term().
By default, web access uses WWW::Mechanize, but in its absense falls back to bioperl module Bio::WebAgent which is a subclass of LWP::UserAgent. If not even that is not installed, it uses Bio::Root::HTTPget.
