[Bioperl-l] blastall problem

[Jason Stajich]

Looks like you need to deal with buffering:

http://perl.plover.com/FAQs/Buffering.html

So you need to add this:
close(OUTPUT);

Alternatively you can build a sequence object and pass that in to the  
BLAST factory, then you don't have to mess around with creating  
temporary files or run into this sort of problem.
