I got different results from your dataset using the code below. I am assuming you want a new output file for every *.seq input file. You would just need to uncomment the 4 commented statements and change the foreach my $input_file ('o66.txt') line to foreach my $input_file (@input_files). 
#!usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $sequence='ABCD';
my @headings= qw/ Tags Frequency /;
my @input_files=<*.seq>;

foreach my $input_file ('o66.txt')
{
    open INPUT, "<", $input_file or die "Cannot open file \"$input_fil
+e\". $!";
    (my $outfile = $input_file) =~ s/.seq/.tag.txt/i;
    my %freq;
    
    while (my $line=<INPUT>)
    {
        
        if ($line=~m/$sequence(.{11})(.{11})$sequence/i){
             $freq{$_}++ for $1, $2;
           }
        
    }
    close INPUT or die "Cannot close file \"$input_file\". $!";
    #open OUTPUT, ">", $outfile or die "Cannot open file \"$outfile\".
+ $!";
    #printf OUTPUT "%-12s%s\n", @headings;
    printf "%-12s%s\n", @headings;
    for my $tag (sort {$freq{$b} <=> $freq{$a}} keys %freq) {
        #printf OUTPUT "%-12s%5s\n", $tag, $freq{ $tag };
        printf "%-12s%5s\n", $tag, $freq{ $tag};
    }

    #close OUTPUT or die "Unable to close \"$outfile\". $!";
}

__END__
o66.txt is below:
@HWDFFFDDABCDEFFFFDDDDDRFFFFEFFEEDDABCDEDDDDDD

@HWDFFFDDABCDEFFFFDDDDDRFFFFEFFEEDDABCDEDDDDDD
@HWDFFFDDABCDEFFFFDDDDDRFFFFEFFEEDDABCDEDDDDDD

output is:
