Jinal,

it is probably better if you use the Bio::SearchIO module. THere is a 
HOWTO section: http://bioperl.org/HOWTOs/SearchIO/use.html

re; strand, it depends on the BLAST search you are performing but 
something along the lines of $hsp->query->strand will return '1' for 
positve frame or '-1' for negative frame.
so my

my $blast_frame = ($hsp->query->frame + 1) * $hsp->query->strand;
