If it is of any help:

Code:
perl -nae '$seen{$F[3]}++;
    END{for $k (sort keys %seen){
            print "$k: $seen{$k} time(s)\n";
        }
        print "There are ", scalar keys %seen, " unique fourth fields\n";
    }' cmccabe.file

Code:
chr1:955543-955763: 5 time(s)
chr1:957571-957852: 7 time(s)
chr1:970621-970740: 2 time(s)
There are 3 unique fourth fields

or just:
Code:
perl -nae '$seen{$F[3]}++;
    END{
        print "There are ", scalar keys %seen, " unique fourth fields\n";
    }' cmccabe.file

COMM(1) 							   User Commands							   COMM(1)

NAME

       comm - compare two sorted files line by line

SYNOPSIS

       comm [OPTION]... FILE1 FILE2

DESCRIPTION

       Compare sorted files FILE1 and FILE2 line by line.

       With  no  options,  produce three-column output.  Column one contains lines unique to FILE1, column two contains lines unique to FILE2, and
       column three contains lines common to both files.

       -1     suppress column 1 (lines unique to FILE1)

       -2     suppress column 2 (lines unique to FILE2)

       -3     suppress column 3 (lines that appear in both files)

       --check-order
	      check that the input is correctly sorted, even if all input lines are pairable

       --nocheck-order
	      do not check that the input is correctly sorted

       --output-delimiter=STR
	      separate columns with STR

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       Note, comparisons honor the rules specified by 'LC_COLLATE'.

EXAMPLES

       comm -12 file1 file2
	      Print only lines present in both file1 and file2.

       comm -3 file1 file2
	      Print lines in file1 not in file2, and vice versa.
