Syck parser (line 4, column 62): syntax error ...

line 4, column 62 is the abstract

abstract:           Test library that can be run in two modes: once to

Looks like a bug in ExtUtils::MakeMaker, it doesn't quote abstract properly.

Yes I realized that the colon is the problem last night. I got quite worried about whether this was a problem with YAML::Syck and contacted Andreas Koenig. He pointed out I should have read the email the PAUSE daemon sent which does indeed contain that error message. It's now fixed.	[reply]
