[Bioperl-l] producing an organism report from BLAST results?

[Jason Stajich]

Well isn't encoded in the hit name?
my ($gi)  = ($hit->name =~ /gi\|(\d+)/ );

If you run WU-BLAST you need to provide the -gi option on the command  
line.

If you run NCBI-BLAST you need to provide the -I option

 From the blastall help:
   -I  Show GI's in deflines [T/F]
     default = F
