[Bioperl-l] SeqIO & multi-line fastq

[Tristan Lefebure]

Hi there,

I'm parsing with SeqIO a FastQ file made by MAQ. SeqIO complains because
this is a multiline fastq file. By looking at the Bio::SeqIO::fastq,
it's pretty obvious that it can't handle multilines. Who is wrong? MAQ,
SeqIO, or am I missing something?

Some more details below:

The fastq file looks like that:
