SYNOPSIS
use Bio::SearchIO;
my $parser = Bio::SearchIO->new(-file => 'file.psl',
-format => 'psl');
while( my $result = $parser->next_result ) {
}
DESCRIPTION
This is a SearchIO driver for PSL format. PSL format is documented here: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/customTrack.html#PSLBy default it assumes PSL output came from BLAT you can override that by specifying -program_name => 'BLASTZ' when initializing the SearchIO object.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _new
Title : new Usage : my $obj = Bio::SearchIO::psl->new(); Function: Builds a new Bio::SearchIO::psl object Returns : an instance of Bio::SearchIO::psl Args :
next_result
Title : next_result Usage : my $result = $parser->next_result Function: Parse the next result from the data stream Returns : L<Bio::Search::Result::ResultI> or undef if no more results Args : none
start_element
Title : start_element Usage : $eventgenerator->start_element Function: Handles a start element event Returns : none Args : hashref with at least 2 keys 'Data' and 'Name'
end_element
Title : end_element Usage : $eventgenerator->end_element Function: Handles an end element event Returns : return value from the associated end_$type event handler Args : hashref with at least 2 keys 'Data' and 'Name'
element
Title : element Usage : $eventhandler->element({'Name' => $name, 'Data' => $str}); Function: Convience method that calls start_element, characters, end_element Returns : none Args : Hash ref with the keys 'Name' and 'Data'
characters
Title : characters Usage : $eventgenerator->characters($str) Function: Send a character events Returns : none Args : string
_mode
Title : _mode Usage : $obj->_mode($newval) Function: Example : Returns : value of _mode Args : newvalue (optional)
within_element
Title : within_element Usage : if( $eventgenerator->within_element($element) ) {} Function: Test if we are within a particular element This is different than 'in' because within can be tested for a whole block. Returns : boolean Args : string element name
in_element
Title : in_element Usage : if( $eventgenerator->in_element($element) ) {} Function: Test if we are in a particular element This is different than 'in' because within can be tested for a whole block. Returns : boolean Args : string element name

end_document
Title : end_document Usage : $eventgenerator->end_document Function: Handles an end document event Returns : Bio::Search::Result::ResultI object Args : none
result_count
Title : result_count Usage : my $count = $searchio->result_count Function: Returns the number of results we have processed Returns : integer Args : none
