[Bioperl-l] XML output from RemoteBlast

[Chris Fields]

...and I tried an XML-formatted BLASTP file (from blastcl3 output) to test
SearchIO directly; it's not SearchIO or blastxml.  They parsed accessions,
hits, etc very well.  So at least I can use a system call to blastcl3 with
parameters as a workaround for now.

I'm pretty sure it is the retrieve_blast() or save_output() method in
RemoteBlast.pm.  I'm busy trying to finish up a write-up for bioperl-db
(among the experiments going on in the lab), but I'll try to figure it out.
