    - this appears to be mostly a permissions error (and YAML module error) under windows. <thus the unix'ie perl guys don't see this error.> The cpan error response is mostly unhelpful...but if you just rename the file, then cpan appears to fix itself. I was able to load/reload Yaml. This looks like a cpan/perl installation induced bug. If this file needs to be rename it should be installed in a location that has sufficient permissions...nuff said.

    - don't know what is up with the HTML::EP suggestion. That seems a bit pointless to install that module without a need...

    - oh, also, disabling yaml via o conf will not correct the problem until the FTPStats.yml file is renamed...
