               Default is 'http://industry.ebi.ac.uk/openBQS'.

             -destroy_on_exit => '0'
                Default value is '1' which means that all Bio::Biblio
                objects - when being finalised - will send a request
                to the remote WebService to forget the query collections
                they represent.

                If you change it to '0' make sure that you know the
                query collection identification - otherwise you will
                not be able to re-established connection with it.
                This can be done by calling method get_collection_id.

              -collection_id => '...'
                It defines what query collection will this object work
                with. Use this argument when you know a collection ID
                of an existing query collection and when you wish to
                re-established connection with it.

                By default, the collection IDs are set automatically
                by the query methods - they return Bio::Biblio objects
                already having a collection ID.

                A missing or undefined collection ID means that the
                object represents the whole bibliographic repository
                (which again means that some methods, like get_all,
                will be probably refused).

              -soap => a SOAP::Lite object
                Usually all Bio::Biblio objects share an instance of
                the underlying SOAP::Lite module. But you are free
                to have more - perhaps with different characteristics.

                See the code for attributes of the default SOAP::Lite
                object.

              -httpproxy => 'http://server:port'
                 In addition to the 'location' parameter, you may need
                 to specify also a location/URL of a HTTP proxy server
                 (if your site requires one).

           Additionally, the main module Bio::Biblio recognises
           also:
              -access => '...'
              -location => '...'

It populates calling object with the given arguments, and then - for
some attributes and only if they are not yet populated - it assigns
some default values.

This is an actual new() method (except for the real object creation
and its blessing which is done in the parent class Bio::Root::Root in
method _create_object).

Note that this method is called always as an I<object> method (never as
a I<class> method) - and that the object who calls this method may
already be partly initiated (from Bio::Biblio::new method); so if you
need to do some tricks with the 'class invocation' you need to change
Bio::Biblio::new method, not this one.

=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

=over 4

*
Methods returning a boolean value (I<has_next>, I<exists> and
I<contains>) can be used only with SOAP::Lite version 0.52 and newer
(probably due to a bug in the older SOAP::Lite).
*
It does not use WSDL.
*
More testing and debugging needed to ensure that returned citations
are properly transferred even if they contain foreign characters.

=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 Mailing lists

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.

=head2 Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
I<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.

=head2 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
