[Bioperl-l] parsing blast reports

[Joan Segura Mora]

Dear bioperl developers,

I am using bioperl to parse a Blast report. I am using the object
Bio::SearchIO. In all the examples that I have found the constructor
method read the report from a file, EX:

my $in = new Bio::SearchIO(-format => 'blast', 
                           -file   => 'report.bls'); 

I would like to know if the constructor can get the blast report from a perl variable ($report_bls)

thanks a lot,
Joan
