[Bioperl-l] parsing blat data

[Charles Hauser]

All,

I'd like to grab the Q name && HSP count (block count) from some blat
data.

The docs for SearchIO suggest I can parse blat (.psl) data similar to
blast but not certain what method 


psLayout version 3
 
match   mis-    rep.    N's     Q gap   Q gap   T gap   T gap   strand  Q               Q       Q        Q       T               T       T       T       block   blockSizes      qStarts  tStarts
        match   match           count   bases   count   bases           name            size    start    end     name            size    start   end     count
-
    

   my $in = new Bio::SearchIO(-format => 'blat', 
                               -fh   => \*FH);

    while( my $result = $in->next_result ) {

	???
    }

There is also Bio/Tools/Blat.pm, which (I don't believe) has a method to
return values.
