Correct, but CPAN.pm needs either YAML.pm or YAML::Syck to be able to
parse the META.yml. As you see from the report, neither is installed
on David's machine.
This is a known problem. CPAN.pm for instance cannot require YAML or
YAML::Syck as a prerequisite, because it is meant to be compatible for
very old perls (5.004). But there are no YAML modules which support
old perls. Also, because CPAN.pm is a core module, this would mean to
add either YAML or YAML::Syck to the perl core.
There's YAML::Tiny however, which probably works with older perls and
is meant to be easily embedded in other modules, but it does not
support the full set of YAML. The META.yml specification does not
forbid to use YAML constructs which are not parsable by YAML::Tiny.
Maybe a perliminary solution would be some sort of heuristics for
CPAN::Reporter or CPAN.pm: if the result is "PL FAIL" and no YAML
module is installed (i.e. $CPAN::META->has_inst($yaml_module) returns
false) and there's a META.yml available in the distribution and it
contains the string "configure_requires" (not parsing it, just doing a
grep), then DISCARD the report.
