Bioperl: Feature tags : newbie question

[Mark Hoebeke]

Hi all,

I just installed Release Candidate 0.6.1 and tried to parse some GenBank
files.

Unfortunately, I can't retrieve any feature tag values using the
Bio::SeqFeature::has_tag method. By delving into the code of
Bio::SeqFeature::Generic, I read :

	sub has_tag{
	   my ($self,$tag) = (shift, shift);

	   return exists $self->{'_gsf_tag_hash'}->{$tag};
	}


I'm not a Perl hacker, but it seems to me that this method doesn't return
the tag value, but only '1' if the tag exists (which indeed is the
behavior I observe during testing).

Can anybody explain what I got wrong ?

Thanks.

Mark
