There is the Bio::Tools::ESTScan module, which obviously relies
on ESTScan as the ORF predicting external tool. If you plan to
implement a full-fledged ORF prediction algorithm in perl that
module is not what you want. (BTW ESTScan consists of a driver
layer in Perl; the core of the algorithm is written in C. One
could try to integrate/rewrite the driver layer into/in Bioperl.)
