Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

 Args    : -fh/-file     => cmsearch (infernal) filename
           -format       => 'erpin'
           -algorithm    => algorithm (default 'Infernal')
           -query_acc    => query accession, eg. Rfam accession (default undef)
           -hsp_minscore => minimum HSP score cutoff
           -version      => ERPIN version (not reported in output)

next_result

 Title   : next_result
 Usage   : my $hit = $searchio->next_result;
 Function: Returns the next Result from a search
 Returns : Bio::Search::Result::ResultI object
 Args    : none

start_element

 Title   : start_element
 Usage   : $eventgenerator->start_element
 Function: Handles a start element event
 Returns : none
 Args    : hashref with at least 2 keys 'Data' and 'Name'

end_element

 Title   : start_element
 Usage   : $eventgenerator->end_element

 Title   : element
 Usage   : $eventhandler->element_hash({'Hsp_hit-from' => $start,
                                        'Hsp_hit-to'   => $end,
                                        'Hsp_score'    => $lastscore});
 Function: Convenience method that takes multiple simple data elements and
           maps to appropriate parameters
