What is the output that you get and how would you like it to be formatted instead?

By default, vcf-stats outputs the stats as a Perl Data::Dumper string.

If you want a collection of text files with the statistics, you need to provide a output file prefix with -p.

eg. perl vcf-stats -p mystats/test test.vcf

Then look at the files in the mystats/ folder.
