[Bioperl-l] bioperl 1.4 SearchIO doesn't work parsing Blastoutput

Greetings,
Im not well versed in Bio::SearchIO but there are a few comments about your 
code that may or may not be relevant...

first thing:

=-=-=-=-=code snippet=-=-=-=-=

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;   #save yourself the headaches and force yourself to write clean 
code.

=-=-=-=-=code snippet=-=-=-=-=

next thing:
when you are reading the files from the directory you are not doing any sort 
of filtering as to what is returned. If you are on a Unix flavored system 
you may be getting the '.' and '..' entries from your readdir(DIR) call. I 
would suggest placing a grep in there somewhere to get only blast files.
something like:

=-=-=-=-=code snippet=-=-=-=-=

#assuming the file extension for blast files is .bls
#the -e and -f are filetests; you could probably get away with just
#-f. Here is a link for reference on the filetests available in Perl.
#
# http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=370

my @files_to_parse = grep{/\w+\.bls/ && -e && -f} readdir(DIR);
closedir(DIR);

#then proceed with your foreach but over @files_to_parse

foreach my $file(@files_to_parse){
     #do cool stuff here...
}

=-=-=-=-=code snippet=-=-=-=-=

Hope that helps.
