[Bioperl-l] Bio::Search::Hit

[Jason Stajich]

It should give you whatever is in your BLAST report - only one is 
reported in the Hit table at the top of the report....

Default WU-BLAST settings gives you p-values for Hit table while 
NCBI-BLAST gives you E-values.  For HSPs, one can get p-value with p() 
and evalue with evalue().
