NAME

       Bio::SearchIO::erpin - SearchIO-based ERPIN parser

SYNOPSIS

         # do not call this module directly. Use Bio::SearchIO.

DESCRIPTION

       This is an experimental SearchIO-based parser for output from the erpin program.  It
       currently parses erpin output for ERPIN versions 4.2.5 and above; older versions may work
       but will not be supported.

       User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send
       your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list.  Your participation
       is much appreciated.

   Support
       Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

       bioperl-l@bioperl.org

       rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will
       be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description
       of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

   Reporting Bugs
       Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their
       resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:

        Args    : -fh/-file     => cmsearch (infernal) filename
                  -format       => 'erpin'
                  -algorithm    => algorithm (default 'Infernal')
                  -query_acc    => query accession, eg. Rfam accession (default undef)
                  -hsp_minscore => minimum HSP score cutoff
                  -version      => ERPIN version (not reported in output)

   next_result
        Title   : next_result
        Usage   : my $hit = $searchio->next_result;
        Function: Returns the next Result from a search
        Returns : Bio::Search::Result::ResultI object
        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   : start_element
        Usage   : $eventgenerator->end_element
        Function: Handles an end element event
        Returns : none
        Args    : hashref with at least 2 keys, 'Data' and 'Name'

   element
        Title   : element
        Usage   : $eventhandler->element({'Name' => $name, 'Data' => $str});
        Function: Convenience method that calls start_element, characters, end_element
        Returns : none
        Args    : Hash ref with the keys 'Name' and 'Data'

   element_hash
        Title   : element
        Usage   : $eventhandler->element_hash({'Hsp_hit-from' => $start,
                                               'Hsp_hit-to'   => $end,
                                               'Hsp_score'    => $lastscore});
        Function: Convenience method that takes multiple simple data elements and
                  maps to appropriate parameters
        Returns : none
        Args    : Hash ref with the mapped key (in %MAPPING) and value
