[Bioperl-l] passing multiple databases to blastall

[James Wasmuth]

Place the databases into a variable.  The below works for me.. 

my $est_db = 	'"/dba/BMC.fsa /dba/ALC.fsa /dba/HCC.fsa"';
	
my @params_est = ('d' => "$est_db" , 'program' => "$est_blast_meth" , 'e' => "$e" , 'F' => "$mask_status" , '_READMETHOD' => "Blast" , 'outfile' => "$dir/est.bls");
