NAME

Bio::Search::Processor::Fasta - Processor of Fasta-generated data streams

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Search::Processor

my $processor = new Bio::Search::Processor -file => 'mysearchrun', -algorithm => 'Fasta';

DESCRIPTION

A Processor object is used to generate Bio::Search::Result::* objects, given a source of Search data (a file or filehandle). The Processor object works very much like the SeqIO system: once initialized with the new() method, the Processor object will continue to yield as many Result objects as are available from the data source (for single "runs" this is often only one Result object).
