[Bioperl-l] Blast parsing.

[David Martin]

I am in need of a Blast parser so have turned to Bioperl.

Having worked out what I think it is doing there seem to be some gaps int
he details it can report.

The Bio::Tools::Blast object doesn't have any methods for returning the
name of the databases, the database statistics (number of seqs/bases), or
the query sequence details (name, length, type etc.)

Are there any plans for these to be included or should I be looking at a
different module that may be able to help?
