I assist in maintaining YAML::Syck. This test came from a smoker which rather than installing YAML::Syck, included it in it's @INC path. I suspect it's related to some wierdness in how/when/where Module::Install produces and installs this file. I suspect the failure would not have been re-produceable if the module had been installed. Considering it's really just a smoke issue, is this a concern to you? If you'd like further work on this, I'd encourage you to open an RT at https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=YAML-Syck, although it may eventually end up as a Module::Install bug. Thanks, Todd Rinaldo
