NAME

Chemistry::File::MDLMol - MDL molfile reader/writer

SYNOPSIS

    use Chemistry::File::MDLMol;

    # read a molecule
    my $mol = Chemistry::Mol->read('myfile.mol');

    # write a molecule
    $mol->write("myfile.mol");

DESCRIPTION

MDL Molfile (V2000) reader.

This module automatically registers the 'mdl' format with Chemistry::Mol.

The first three lines of the molfile are stored as $mol->name, $mol->attr("mdlmol/line2"), and $mol->attr("mdlmol/comment").

This version only reads and writes the basic connection table: atomic symbols, coordinates, bonds and bond types. It doesn't read charges, isotopes, or any extended properties yet.

This module is part of the PerlMol project, http://www.perlmol.org.
