[Bioperl-l] Bio::Tools::TMHMM;

[Frank Schwach]

I haven't used that module myself but it appears to be a parser for
results from TMHMM, i.e. you don't feed it the FASTA file but the output
from TMHMM after it was run.
To run TMHMM you should use Bio::Tools::Run::Tmhmm
http://search.cpan.org/~cjfields/BioPerl-run-1.6.1/Bio/Tools/Run/Tmhmm.pm

Follow the synopsis to feed the tool with your sequences. You can learn
how to read a FASTA file and access each sequence in a loop here: 
http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/HOWTO:SeqIO#Working_Examples

Essentially it boils down to:

use Bio::SeqIO;
my $file = shift; # to get a file path from command line
my $inseq = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file   => "<$file",-format => 'FASTA' );
while (my $seq = $inseq->next_seq) {
  print $seq->accession_number,"\n";
}

as an example for printing out accession numbers from $seq, which is a Bio::Seq object. 
So what you have to do now is to feed each of those Bio::Seq objects into your TMHMM runner.
