[Bioperl-l] BPslite and iterations

Hi All,

this might be very trivial but probably useful, too ;-) . The BPslite
class could have a method 'converged' to determine whether the whole
psiblast run has been converged (i.g. the 'CONVERGED' string was found).
The obvious workaround at the moment is to compare the number of maximum
iterations (-j) with $report->number_of_iterations, but this cannot be
done if the model converges in e.g. iteration 20 when -j was set to 20.

Also, are there any future plans to parse xml output from blast/psiblast
?

	regards,

	Arne
