[Bioperl-l] remoteblast xml problem

[Hubert Prielinger]

hi,
input database: swissprot
         matrix: pam30
         count: 1
         gapcosts: 9 1

I know that there are  a lot of sequences, but that doesn't matter, you 
can delete all of them except one, the amount of the sequences is not 
the problem, the script reads one line and submits it.....then the 
second line and so on.....I have tried it with only one sequence either 
and I got the same result.... the script run at that time for more than 
20 minutes!!!!!! .....and that should be enough time to retrieve the 
results for ONE sequence, I guess

regards
Hubert
