Re: CPAN: YAML won't install

I would be easier to assist if you stated your version of Perl, OS and archtecture. The link you provided reports an attempt to install YAML version 0.65 on Perl version 5.6.2, OS linux 2.6, architecture i686-linux-64int, so I assume your system is identical.

The test reports shows that last two releases of YAML fails for all tested systems running Perl version 5.6:

YAML 0.66:
    * FAIL 698872 5.6.2 on Freebsd 6.1-release (i386-freebsd)
    * FAIL 673079 5.6.2 on Freebsd 6.2-release (amd64-freebsd)
    * FAIL 663843 5.6.2 on Darwin 8.10.0 (darwin-thread-multi)
    * FAIL 660806 5.6.2 on Linux 2.6.16-2-k7 (i686-linux-64int)

YAML 0.65:
    * FAIL 649648 5.6.2 on Freebsd 6.1-release (i386-freebsd)
    * FAIL 612710 5.6.2 on Netbsd 3.1 (i386-netbsd-thread-multi-64int)
    * FAIL 612317 5.6.2 on Netbsd 3.1 (i386-netbsd-thread-multi-64int)
    * FAIL 537050 5.6.2 on Linux 2.6.16-2-k7 (i686-linux-64int)
    * FAIL 515791 5.6.2 on Linux 2.4.27-3-686 (i686-linux)
    * FAIL 515703 5.6.2 on Linux 2.6.16-2-k7 (i686-linux-64int)

If the above assumption holds, I guess you would benefit from upgrading your version of Perl (from 5.6 -> 5.8).

What's weird though is that `YAML.pm` only specifies a minimum Perl version of 5.6.1: `use 5.006001;` [download] diotalevi mentions that Filter::Util::Call needs to be installed for YAML 0.62 to work and it doesn't look to me as if the `Makefile.PL` declares that in 0.66 either.
