[Bioperl-l] Count or weight matrix in bioperl?

[Torsten Seemann]

>   Say I have an array of nucleotide sequences of of length N.  I  want to calculate the count matrix (weight matrix). That is for each  position 1..N, I want to know how many As, Cs ,Ts and Gs there  are.  Is the code to do this already written in bioperl to build  this matrix if I pass it those strings?

Use the Bio::Tools::SeqStats module. The PDoc documentation even has an 
example similar to what you want to do:
