[Module::Build] YAML.pm bug affecting Module-Build META.yml files: msg#00126

Subject: [Module::Build] YAML.pm bug affecting Module-Build META.yml files
Back in October, I posted a bug to the YAML project which seems to have been ignored. Package version strings with trailing zeros are being truncated due to a bug in YAML::Dump. E.g. a package with
  $VERSION = "1.10";
gets a META.yml entry like this:
  version: 1.10
instead of the correct entry:
  version: "1.10"
Consequently, YAML::Load gets
  version => 1.1

Does anyone here have any influence in the YAML project to help get some attention on this bug? The longer it persists, the more bad data we get in META.yml files on CPAN.

Thanks,
