[Bioperl-l] VariationIO and Tempfile tests failing

[Heikki Lehvaslaiho]

Hilmar,

Thanks for spotting this problem with variationIO. I'll fix it today.

Incidently, I get:

Subroutine tagname redefined at
/home/heikki/src/bioperl/core/Bio/Annotation/SimpleValue.pm line 205.

Which seem to be your doings. 8-:
