[Bioperl-l] NCBI BLAST results parsing

[Chris Fields]

I would say, based on previous responses, update to the latest CVS  
(bioperl-live).  You could also try updating  
Bio::Tools::Run::RemoteBlast.pm and Bio::SearchIO::blast.pm if you  
don't want to update the entire toolkit.  Running these with BLAST  
2.2.14 output seems to work fine.

Though this is the likely fix, if you have additional problems next  
time please make sure to include more information.  We have no idea  
what OS, bioperl version, perl version you are running.  And a code  
snippet and bug description would be nice (i.e. "it doesn't work" -  
not a good description; "the script freezes" is a little more  
informative).
