probably the best way to bridge the two is to introduce your students
with XML based web service and Perl API. Just an introduction would help

task by using the magic 'Perl' and 'XML' button on the BioMart
web-interface (MartView).
...as long as we manage to install the Biomart Perl API!
It was such a struggle installing it on my local Linux machine (biggest
problem was with Compress::Zlib) that I am not too optimistic that our
sysadmin will want to spend that much time fighting with incompatible Perl
library versions.
Do you by any chance distribute a version of the Biomart Perl API that does
not rely on Compress::Zlib ? I think that would ease installation tremendously.
