    By now ActivePerl 5.10.0.1004 has been released, which contains a fixed YAML::LibYAML module, so it is no longer necessary to disable the yaml_module in the CPAN configuration.
      I still have the problem with the Windows 64-bit version of ActivePerl 5.10.0.1004. If you are a sissy like me you can avoid editing the config file with this % perl -MCPAN -e shell o conf yaml_module '' o conf commit quit
      I had the same problem when using CPAN Shell - on ActivePerl 5.10.0.1004.
      The above solution worked.

      I mean:
      Edit C:\Perl\lib\CPAN\Config.pm
      - and change the yaml_module entry from:
        'yaml_module' => q[YAML::XS], 

      to:
         'yaml_module' => q[], 
      I just tried 5.10.0 build 1004 and it had the same YAML issue, resolved by disabling the module.
