[Bioperl-l] obtaining parent of hsp?

[Jonathan Epstein]

Here's a simple question: how do I get the parent of an hsp (i.e., the hit)?

The documentation suggests that one can use _parent, but this doesn't seem 
to work, i.e.,
             $name = $hsp->_parent->name;
produces the error:
Can't locate object method "_parent" via package "Bio::Tools::Blast::HSP" 
at postproc.pl line 29.


Thanks in advance,

- Jonathan
