Re: [Module::Build] YAML.pm bug affecting Module-Build META.yml files: msg#00137

Subject: Re: [Module::Build] YAML.pm bug affecting Module-Build META.yml files
FYI. YAML-0.49_01 is *rough*. I just wanted to put it out for people to
see the direction I'm going.

Dumping is working well as long as it's just plain hashes arrays and
simple scalars. Loading is not working at all. YAML::Loader is actually
working, but YAML::Parser is not, so that pretty much keeps a Load from
working.
