Subject: Possible hash randomization problems in test suite
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Geography-States+2009040901 shows a random fail/pass pattern for perl >= 5.17.6. This is an indication for a hash randomization problem in the tests or the module itself.

I concur. When I run the tests manually, I see random results for $cnd->state('Quebec') -- sometimes it returns 'QC', and other times 'PQ'.

(An aside -- converting the test to using is() from Test::More would cause the failing text to be included in the output, making it easier to diagnose the issue. It looks like this distribution pre-dates the existence of Test.pm or Test::More, as it is manually outputting "ok" and "not ok" strings, without the use of any test library at all.)
