Martin,
There are a couple of ways to do this in Bioperl v. 1.0. The simplest way is
to use Bio::Index::Fasta, but one of the problem with this approach is that
you might not be able to use the id that's most easily available to you. An
alternative, Bio::DB::Fasta, has more features and gets around this problem.
Take a look at section III.1.2 of bptutorial.pl as a starting point.
