[Bioperl-l] Tracking database dates in BLAST

[Andy Nunberg]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has added a method that allows to capture the
date a database is created in Bio::SearchIO::blast ?

I am interested in tracking this information.  I have looked at the
Bio::SearchIO::blast->next_result to see how the parsing is done, but I am
not clear on how to use the methods in it (eg. start_document, element
etc..) or if this is even necessary to use them to do what I want to
accomplish.
