[Bioperl-l] small change to Bio::Align::Utilities

[Stefan Kirov]

Hi Albert,
This certainly can be a problem. Actually I believe this problem should 
be handled by Bio::AlignIO, where each format specific parser will 
convert the gap character to a standard, "-" for example in the 
resulting Bio::Align::AliignI object.. And also account for cases like 
the one you mentioned. Then we can take my correction out.
In any case aa_to_dna_aln did not care about . so you would end up with 
a shortened sequence.
