Bio::PrimerDesigner::Result will autogenerate result access methods
for for Native Boulder IO keys and Bio::PrimerDesigner keys for
primer3, e-PCR, isPcr and ipcress.
This handles result method calls made via the
Bio::PrimerDesigner::Result object. Returns either a scalar or list
depending on the on the arguments:
------------------+------------------------
Args passed | Returns
------------------+------------------------
none scalar value for set 1
numeric n scalar value for set n
numeric list 1..n list with n elements
The aliased output methods (below) return a string when called in a
scalar context and a list when called in a list context. The native
primer3 (Boulder IO) keys can also be used. There are also e-PCR,
isPcr and ipcress specific methods
