[Bioperl-l] Indexing HMMER reports

[Chris Fields]

I'm not familiar with that one, but I assume the indexing is very  
likely by the query ID (similar to BLAST report indexing, which I've  
worked on).  So, you would index the report first:

--------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Bio::Index::Hmmer;
my $indexfile = shift;
my $index = Bio::Index::Hmmer->new(
     -filename => $indexfile,
     -write_flag => 1
);
$index->make_index(@ARGV);
--------------------------------

Then, retrieve the HMMER report using the query ID and fetch_report(),  
which just advances the file pointer to the start of the indicated  
report prior to parsing, and returns the Bio::Search::Result::ResultI,  
I believe.
