[Bioperl-l] blast best hit

[Jordi Durban]

Hi,
I did a pair of scripts to parse a blastxml report. I'd like know your
opinion.
First I obtained a file with tab separated results (whatever you want) from
the blast results according to some Bioperl modules as SearchIO. That is:
hit_name    query_name    e-value    score
hit_name    query-name   e-value     score
.
.

Then, I parse that file as an array where:
foreach my $line ($array[0]){ ###### best hit
        next if $seen {$line}++; ##### non-repeated lines
        push @unique , $line[1]; ### best hit outcome in a new array
       }

I hope this helps and I look forward some opinions.
