[Bioperl-l] suggestions on module/method to translate SNPs?

[Ben Bimber]

I am parsing an alignment to identify positions of difference from a
reference.  Bio::Variation has objects that describe NT mutations.  Are
there methods that exist to translate these SNPs based on an annotated
reference sequence?  perhaps i'm simply looking in the wrong place, but for
the most part these object just seem to be containers to store attributes,
not manipulate them.

thanks for any help.
