Mark Jensen wrote up a new set of modules that run BLAST+ (Bio::Tools::Run::StandAloneBlastPlus). I've used it quite a bit locally, and am trying to get our cluster switched over to it as well. It is not backward compatible with StandAloneBlast code, which is a feature, not a bug ;>
Note that it is available in bioperl-run, not bioperl-live. Also best to get the github version for this. There is also a bit of online documentation on this:
