Hi Lee,

Doesn't look like you got a reply so I'll chip in.

Your module certainly looks like it would be a useful addition to 
BioPerl, but it would probably need some modification - an obvious one 
would be to use Bio::Seq objects rather than reading the fastq files 
directly, which would have the additional benefit of allowing you to 
easily support all Bio::SeqIO file formats. You'd probably also need to 
inherit from Bio::Root::Root. The jellyfish component might be best 
separated out into bioperl-run.

There are some tips on contributing to BioPerl here:
http://bioperl.org/howtos/Advanced_BioPerl_HOWTO.html
http://bioperl.org/howtos/Best_Practices_HOWTO.html

There is some other kmer-counting code in the Scrapbook which you might 
also take a look at:
http://bioperl.org/howtos/Scrapbook_HOWTO.html#item24

Of course, there are other non-BioPerl modules in the Bio:: namespace, 
so it's fine to leave it as a standalone if you prefer.

Cheers,
Roy.
