I'm running perl 5.6.0 on MacOSX.

not ok 4
# Test 4 got: '4' (t/CoordinateGraph.t at line 47)
#   Expected: '3'
...
not ok 7
# Test 7 got: '4' (t/CoordinateGraph.t at line 59)
#   Expected: '3'

and

not ok 64
# Test 64 got: '5' (t/GeneCoordinateMapper.t at line 298)
#    Expected: '10'
...
not ok 73
# Test 73 got: '432' (t/GeneCoordinateMapper.t at line 403)
#    Expected: '1173'
