It requires XML::SAX; it is also recommended (for faster parsing) that XML::SAX::ExpatXS or XML::LibXML be installed. Either 'XML::SAX::ExpatXS' or 'XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser' should be set as the default parser in ParserDetails.ini. This file is located in the SAX subdirectory of XML in your local perl library (normally in the 'site' directory). Currently, XML::SAX::Expat will not work and will not be supported. There is one additional initialization flag from the SearchIO defaults- that is the -tempfile flag. If specified as true, then the parser will write out each report to a temporary filehandle rather than holding the entire report as a string in memory. The reason this is done in the first place is NCBI reports have an uncessary E?xml version="1.0"?E at the beginning of each report and RPS-BLAST reports have an additional unecessary RPS-BLAST tag at the top of each report. So we currently have implemented the work around by preparsing the file (yes it makes the process slower, but it works). =head1 DEPENDENCIES In addition to parts of the Bio:: hierarchy, this module uses: XML::SAX It is also recommended that XML::SAX::ExpatXS be installed and made the default XML::SAX parser using , along with the Expat library () for faster parsing. XML::SAX::Expat is not recommended; XML::SAX::ExpatXS is considered the current replacement for XML::SAX:Expat and is actively being considered to replace XML::SAX::Expat. XML::SAX::Expat will work, but only if you have local copies of the NCBI BLAST DTDs. This is due to issues with NCBI's BLAST XML format. The DTDs and the web address to obtain them are: NCBI_BlastOutput.dtd NCBI_BlastOutput.mod.dtd http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/data_specs/dtd/ =head1 FEEDBACK =head2 Mailing Lists User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated. bioperl-l@bioperl.org - General discussion http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists - About the mailing lists =head2 Support Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list: I rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible. =head2 Reporting Bugs Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web: http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/ =head1 AUTHOR - Jason Stajich Email jason-at-bioperl.org =head1 APPENDIX The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods.
