Any checking of file or filehandle arguments should be handled by the parent Bio::Root::IO class for consistency. Currently there seems to be inconsistent checking of these in the various subclasses (ex: Bio::SeqIO). See this thread:

We’ll probably wait until Bio::Root modules are split out into their own distribution before fixing this (currently underway with Sheena’s GSoC 2011 project)
