Note the lack of '.PL' on './Build test --test-files t/AlignIO/mase.t --verbose'.  You must run 'perl Build.PL' first.  

Arguably a better general way to run tests is to use 'prove -lv t/AlignIO/mase.t', which adds the local 'lib' directory while testing.  Just running the tests using 'perl t/AlignIO.mase.t' doesn't do this (it can be done with '-I./lib'), but 'prove' has more flexibility that simply using perl directly.
