[Bioperl-l] blastxml !defined($hsp->significance)

Dan,

This has been fixed in bioperl-live.  As mentioned it was a problem  
with significance() not checking defined-ness (it was merely checking  
bool).

The fix is available via svn, you only need one file (Bio/Search/HSP/ 
GenericHSP.pm).  It should be showing up via anon svn in the next hour  
or two.  It has also been merged over to the 1.6 branch and will  
appear in the next point release.
