Now I created a modified program for translating DNA sequences.

It seems to give error output:

"Bad Codon ATGATCTAGTCGATCGCTAGCTAGATCGCTAGCTGC......!!!!"

I want to translate DNA sequences that are present in fasta file into their respective sequences. I need help from Perl monks.

Here is the code which I used now

use strict;
#use warnings;
use Encode; 

for my $file (@ARGV) {
    open my $fh, '<:encoding(UTF-8)', $file;
    my $input = join q{}, <$fh>; 
    close $fh;
   
   while ( $input =~ /(^>.*?\w?)$([^>]*)/smxg ) {
   
        my $name = $1;
        my $seq = $2;
        $seq =~ s/\n//smxg;
        my $trans = codon2aa($seq);
        print "$name\t$trans\n";
    }
}

sub codon2aa {
    my($codon) = @_;

    $codon = uc $codon;
 
    my(%genetic_code) = (
