Thanks Christopher.
Your model made no errors.
You make it look easy!

The function blast_sequence only acts on a single sequence. You've passed it
an array of sequence objects. Try something more like the following. It's
not tested, but the principles should be correct, even if there is an error
or two:

my $fastafilename = 'protein.fa';

# reads an array of sequences
my @seq_object_array = read_all_sequences($fastafilename,'fasta');

#Number to allow outputting separate files for each sequence
my $report_number = 0;

#Iterate over each sequence object
for my $seq_object( @seq_object_array){

     #Get the blast report for this sequence object
     my $blast_report = blast_sequence($seq_object);

     #create a unique name for the output file (prepended with an '>')
     my $blast_out = '>blast_report_' . $report_number++ . '.out';

     #output the blast report
     write_blast($blast_out, $blast_report);
}

exit;
