Re^2: BioPerl StandAloneBlast is returning unexpected undefined SearchIO object

StandAloneBlast is a module in BioPerl (www.bioperl.org) and therefore kind of a black box..
With that said, it should only return undef if the blast search that it did returns empty handed. But from doing the blast search manually (in my workaround) it can be seen that the search is not empty.

Than it indicates a bug in that module. (That could be a documentation bug if its just not matching what you did by hand)	[reply]

This is also what I'm thinking. Only thing is that I think it is a widely used module and it would seem odd to me that no one has encountered this bug before :)	[reply]
