Hello everyone!  I'm back from my little vacation!

Hey Sean, can I use your EFetch etc. modules to get PubMed data?  Suppose I have an MS Access table full of titles of articles (e.g. "A superfast BLAST variant that uses the Clarkian algorithm.").  

Can I write a script that fetches other related information such as the Author(s), the citation ("Nucleic Acids Res. Vol. 10, No 2: pp. 68-76"), and even the author's email address ("Contact: sean@dogphilosophy.net")... and stores them into my SQL table?

Just wondering...

Regards,

Serge
