[Bioperl-l] SearchIO blast next_result

[Staffa.Nick]

Kind Sir:
I have many blast reports to parse and summarize and believe that BioPerl is the
way to go.

I am looking at 
http://docs.bioperl.org/releases/bioperl-1.0/
Bio::SearchIO
blast

>From examples, I know I can do

$searchio = new Bio::SearchIO ('-format' => 'blast','-file' => $blast_report);
$result = $searchio->next_result;
# Get info about the entire report
$dbname = $result->database_name;
$algorithm_type =$result->algorithm;
#print "$dbname $algorithm_type\n";
# get info about the first hit
$hit = $result->next_hit;
$hit_name = $hit->name ;
print "hitname= $hit_name\n";

But I don't see where it is documented all that I could possibly do with $result
= $searchio->next_result;
Or how to get to it from the page that I cite.

Please help
