Hi, 

I think there is a small bug in the Bio::SearchIO module. I am parsing
the BLAST output file using this module. It works great except for one
thing.

I have included a part of the blast outputfile ( I have modified the
lines to fit into this box). Most of the times the score of Sequences
producing significant alignments is in the format of 6.149e+04. This
module picks up only 6 and ignores other digits. 

Can you please look into this for me.

Thank you in advance
Kashi
