[Bioperl-l] small project

[Jason Stajich]

HMMER folks have contributed a module to BioJava to simplify submission of a protein sequence to the HMMER RESTful API

Perhaps a BioPerl similar module that wraps up the existing code to submit Bio::Seq objects similar to other Bio::DB:: or probably better to do Bio::Tools interfaces for interaction with remote webservices. The code to add this to bioperl is basically already written - the question would be if you wanted to populate a Bio::Search object with the XML results (Writing a parser for the XML)
