Whilst orders of magnitude faster, as posted, your solution is missing some possibilities.

Given the input of:

$seq1 = 'AAAACCCCGGGGTTTT';
$seq2 = 'ACGTACGTACGTACGT';
[download]

It should produce 12 counts:

{  
    A2C => 1,  A2G => 1,  A2T => 1,  C2A => 1,  C2G => 1,  C2T => 1,  
    G2A => 1,  G2C => 1,  G2T => 1,  T2A => 1,  T2C => 1,  T2G => 1,
}
[download]

But only produces the following eight:

A2G=1; G2A=1; C2T=1; T2C=1; A2T=1; A2C=1; G2T=1; G2C=1.

I'm sure that this is eminently fixable.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
