in thread Winxp, AS perl 5.10 and cpan error

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.
