[Bioperl-l] passing multiple databases to blastall

[Paul Boutros]

Sorry to see this so late: I'm only skimming the list these days.  I submitted 
this as a bug a while back with a possible patch to fix the issue.  I have it 
working on my machine with 1.2.1, but I don't know how much things have changed 
in CVS.

http://bugzilla.bioperl.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1364

Hope this helps,
Paul

Yes this does work but only if the 
$Bio::Tools::StandAloneBlast::DATADIR variable is undefined;
otherwise what happens is that the string is prepended with the path.
A possible fix is to actually look at what is being passed to see if 
its multiple db or just a single one..
