[Bioperl-l] Bio::Tools::Phylo::PAML with (baseml from PAML package)

[Jason Stajich]

You should look at the Align::DNAStatistics module if you just want  
pairwise DNA distance.  I put in several different distance methods.   
Or you can use the distance methods implemented in PHYLIP or EMBOSS  
programs -- I thought you wanted the somewhat more sophisticated ML  
approaches that are implemented in PAML?
