Look at the documentation for the objects you retrieve.

http://docs.bioperl.org/bioperl-live/Bio/SearchIO/blast.html

$searchio->next_result returns a Bio::Search::Result::ResultI, actually 
a Bio::Search::Result::BlastResult:

which isa:
http://docs.bioperl.org/bioperl-live/Bio/Search/Result/GenericResult.html

These return $hit = $result->next_hit() Bio::Search::Hit::HitI objects:

http://docs.bioperl.org/bioperl-live/Bio/Search/Hit/BlastHit.html
http://docs.bioperl.org/bioperl-live/Bio/Search/Hit/GenericHit.html

which in turn will give you HSP objects:
