[Bioperl-l] Bug in remote Blasts scripts

[Jason Stajich]

Thanks Danny - This is in fact a known bug stemming from some unmaintained
scripts (which should either be fixed or purged from our future releases).

In the future I'd suggest using the Bio::Tools::Run::RemoteBlast module
which provides an OO interface to remote blast submission and
retrieval.
