[Bioperl-l] Using BIO::SEARCHIO

[Lakshmi Kastury]

I am attempting to use the BIO::SEARCHIO system to parse a Blast output file. 

A new instance is he file is read through the following:
my $input = new BIO::SearchIO (-file =>'blast_report_0.txt', -format =>'blast');

When I run my program, I receive the following message:
"Can't locate object method "new" via package "BIO::SearchIO" (perhaps you forgot to load "BIO::SearchIO"?

Is this an optional module which needs to be installed separately?



Thanks,
Lakshmi Kastury
