SYNOPSIS


# get a $factory from somewhere Bio::TreeIO likely
my $treeio = Bio::TreeIO->new(-format => 'newick', #this is phylip/newick format
-file => 'file.tre');
my $treeout = Bio::TreeIO->new(-format => 'nexus',
-file => ">file.nexus");
# convert tree formats from newick/phylip to nexus
while(my $tree = $treeio->next_tree) {
$treeout->write_tree($tree);
}
