Bio::Tools::PSort::ModuleI(3pm)

NAME
Bio::Tools::PSort::ModuleI - an interface class that all PSort modules should derive implement.

SYNOPSIS
    package Bio::Tools::PSort::Module::Foo;

    use Bio::Tools::PSort::Module;

    use vars qw(@ISA);
    @ISA = qw(Bio::Tools::PSort::Module;

    ...
    ...

    1;

DESCRIPTION
The module object contains functionality common to all PSort modules. This class is not intended to be instantiated on it's own, it only provides functionality common to all PSort modules.

METHODS
    $result = $module->run($seq);

The run method must be overridden in all derived classes. run() should accept a Bio::Tools::Seq object, and perform whatever analysis the module provides on the sequence, returning a bio::PSort::Scort object upon completion.
