[Bioperl-l] SearchIO failing test 203

[Aaron J Mackey]

The failure had nothing to do with qr//, but with the fact that fasta
result parsing now disambiguates between name and description ... tests
updated, and that particular qr// usage removed (does qr really not work
on 5.005 - lots of the SearchIO test uses qr to encapsulate a regexp for
ok()).
