14 =head1 NAME
16 Bio::SearchIO::EventHandlerI - An abstract Event Handler for Search Result parsing
18 =head1 SYNOPSIS
20 # do not use this object directly it is an interface
21 # See Bio::SearchIO::SearchResultEventBuilder for an implementation
23 use Bio::SearchIO::SearchResultEventBuilder;
24 my $handler = Bio::SearchIO::SearchResultEventBuilder->new();
26 =head1 DESCRIPTION
28 This interface describes the basic methods needed to handle Events
29 thrown from parsing a Search Result such as FASTA, BLAST, or HMMer.
31 =head1 FEEDBACK
33 =head2 Mailing Lists
35 User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
36 Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to
37 the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

42 =head2 Support
44 Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
46 I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>
48 rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
49 reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
50 address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
51 with code and data examples if at all possible.
