[Bioperl-l] Bio::index::Fasta- where's the indexed file?

[zhihua li]

Thanks a lot!

After checking out the script bp_index, I changed the syntax to:
 my $inx = Bio::Index::Fasta->new("test.fasta.idx", 'WRITE');
$inx->make_index("test.fasta");


Now I have a index file test.fasta.idx in my current directory. And I can 
use it in my later script
by saying 
 my $inx = Bio::Index::Fasta->new(-filename => "test.fasta.idx");

So now everything is OK. But I don't understand why I have to use that 
syntax. And why the syntax provided in the document didn't work?
