[Bioperl-l] (no subject)

Hi all, 
I have a set of automated gene prediction co-ordinates, - the file consists of the
id of each gene followed by its co-ordinates, line by line in a contiguous 
manner. 
I need to go through these, identify the first instance of each prediction which is 
a gene "within" the previous gene  and throw those out. Are there any bioperl 
scripts that do that? 
e.g: 
>1:[300:700] 
>2:[1200:900] 
>3:[1300:1800] 
>4: [1600:1900] 
>5: [1700:2000] 

#4 is a one such example I'd like to find and eliminate. 

TIA, 
-Nandita
