I'm not that sure, however, this is what the next_hit() module does according to cpan.< 
 Title   : next_hit
 Usage   : while( $hit = $result->next_hit()) { ... }
 Function: Returns the next available Hit object, representing potenti
+al
           matches between the query and various entities from the dat
+abase.
 Returns : a Bio::Search::Hit::HitI object or undef if there are no mo
+re.
 Args    : none

The same is true for next_hsp(). Therefore, I thought if I threw I check to see if they are defined, it would only print if they are. Is this incorrect?
