Yes, sorry.  Lack of coffee.

The tests all pass on Mac OS X; Ill try Windows today, but if memory  
serves there were problems with this a few months back

Okay, found it on the gmane lists:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.bio.general/11137/ 
focus=11311

This part of the thread details the issues.  Linux and WinXP fails  
similar tests, Mac OS X (Tiger) passes (Heikki and I ran the tests).   
Never resolved.

My feeling: could be OS-specific, could be Clone.pm, could be perl  
version.

Cool!  The only problem I saw with the way you wanted to go about it  
was you would have to preparse the report since everything is  
reported as 1 hsp/hit.  They usually aren't long, so that shouldn't  
be a problem.
