Javier,

Yes, you do need to write your own scripts.   However, there are numerous
examples out there.  I suggest that you literally copy the script from the
HOWTO and change the filename to one that you have generated.  Save the file
as blastparseexample.pl and execute it using:

perl blastparseexample.pl

It will print out the information that you ask (i.e., you will have to
change the blastparseexample.pl file to your own liking).  The table in the
HOWTO shows you what information from the blast report maps to what bioperl
method.  It isn¹t complicated, but you have to start with a working example
before you can experiment.
