Need Help??

grizzley has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I finally installed ActiveState perl 5.10 and started working with it. Its nice. But when I try to run cpan, I get an error, which blocks all tasks:

cpan> i /Run/
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.18)
Going to read C:\Perl\cpan\Metadata
  Database was generated on Wed, 06 Aug 2008 10:02:50 GMT
CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok (v5.810)
CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9711)
Fetching with LWP:
  http://ppm.activestate.com/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
CPAN: YAML::XS loaded ok (v0.26)
Alert: While trying to 'parse' YAML file
 'C:\Perl\cpan\FTPstats.yml'
with 'YAML::XS' the following error was encountered:
  Usage: YAML::XS::LibYAML::Load(yaml_str) at C:\Perl\lib/YAML/XS.pm l
+ine 70.

Does anyone know how to fix it? I have a talk about Perl (at work for other employees to populate Perl) in my schedule next Wednesday and would be really happy if didn't have to go back to perl 5.8, which worked without such error.

1. Google it. 2. Turn on debugging/verbosity 3. Try using cpanp (core since 5.009005)	[reply]

Edit C:\Perl\lib\CPAN\Config.pm and change the yaml_module entry from `'yaml_module' => q[YAML::XS],` [download] to `'yaml_module' => q[],` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

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.	[reply]
