SYNOPSIS

# Do not use directly, use through the Bio::PopGen::IO driver
use Bio::PopGen::IO;
my $io = Bio::PopGen::IO->new(-format => 'hapmap',
-file => 'data.hapmap');
# Some IO might support reading in a population at a time
my @population;
while( my $ind = $io->next_individual ) {
push @population, $ind;
}

DESCRIPTION

A driver module for Bio::PopGen::IO for parsing hapmap data.

 Usage   : my $obj = Bio::PopGen::IO::hapmap->new();
 Function: Builds a new Bio::PopGen::IO::hapmap object 
 Returns : an instance of Bio::PopGen::IO::hapmap
 Args    : [optional, these are the current defaults] 
           -field_delimiter => ','
           -allele_delimiter=> '\s+'
           -no_header       => 0,
           -starting_column => 11

flag

 Usage   : $obj->flag($flagname,$newval)
 Function: Get/Set the flag value
 Returns : value of a flag (a boolean)
 Args    : A flag name, currently we expect

next_individual

 Title   : next_individual
 Usage   : my $ind = $popgenio->next_individual;
