[Bioperl-l] Issue with Bio::SearchIO::psl (was: Bioperl bug 1977)

[Chris Fields]

As it turns out, the script you sent me back (the one which you said  
was mine) gave me the answer.  It's the -w flag in the shebang line.   
You had modified modified my script a bit by adding -w (I used 'use  
warnings' since -w gives a ton of debugging info on Windows).  I see  
the error popping up now on Mac (I haven't tried WinXP yet but will  
tomorrow).

I'll give it a closer look tomorrow.  I don't think the fix you  
suggested is the right one for now since it doesn't address the real  
problem (the parser doesn't 'see' the end of the report), but keep it  
in if it works for you.  Another workaround, w/o modifying  
Bio::SearchIO::psl, is to do this:

my $result = $parser->next_result;
while (my $hit = $result->next_hit) {
	print $hit->name,"\n";
	while (my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp) {
		print "    ",$hsp->score,"\n";
	}
}

which calls next_report only once.  I don't get the error with this.
