[Bioperl-l] Remote Blast and Report

Works fine for me using the code below.
Took about 30 seconds to return a result.
==============================================

#!perl -w

use Bio::Tools::Run::RemoteBlast;
use Bio::SearchIO;
use Data::Dumper;

#Here i set the parameters for blast
$prog = "tblastx";
$db = "nr";
$e_val = "1e-10";

my @params = ( '-prog' => $prog,
         '-data' => $db,
         '-expect' => $e_val,
         '-readmethod' => 'SearchIO' );

my $remoteBlast = Bio::Tools::Run::RemoteBlast->new(@params);


#Select the file and make the balst.
$infile = 'infile.fasta';
$r = $remoteBlast->submit_blast($infile);

  my $v = 1;

    print STDERR "waiting..." if( $v > 0 );  ########  WAIT FOR THE RESULTS TO RETURN!!!!!
    while ( my @rids = $remoteBlast->each_rid ) {
      foreach my $rid ( @rids ) {
        my $rc = $remoteBlast->retrieve_blast($rid);
        if( !ref($rc) ) {
          if( $rc < 0 ) {
            $remoteBlast->remove_rid($rid);
          }
          print STDERR "." if ( $v > 0 );
          sleep 5;
        } else {
          my $result = $rc->next_result();
          #save the output
          my $filename = $result->query_name()."\.out";
          $remoteBlast->save_output($filename);
          $remoteBlast->remove_rid($rid);
          print "\nQuery Name: ", $result->query_name(), "\n";
          while ( my $hit = $result->next_hit ) {
            next unless ( $v > 0);
            print "\thit name is ", $hit->name, "\n";
            while( my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp ) {
              print "\t\tscore is ", $hsp->score, "\n";
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
