DBIx-FedDB version 0.0.1 Enables the counting and retrieval of BLAST results by query and subject using a federated database. Uses LWP::Simple to get the results through pre-installed Catalyst web service. A Catalyst Controller module is included in the distribution. The current project includes 100 billion HSPs from 11 million protein sequences and will be run across 8-10 machines from a network adjacent server. I intend to generalize the functionality to suit the module name, although a plug-in system seems likely, so a plugin would (will) need to be (and might be) developed per app (ish). INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES None.
