Subject: version 0.34 requires Perl 5.8.8
DynaLoader fails now with "undefined symbol: SvPV_const" message under earlier Perls (I checked 5.8.5 and 5.8.7). From browsing the source code it seems for me SvPV_const appears first in 5.8.8. Indeed compilation and tests run fine under 5.8.8. I guess the easiest solution would be to just "use 5.008008;" now in YAML/XS.pm.

This problem can be fixed by updating LibYAML/ppport.h to a version generated using a later perl. For instance, I generated one using Perl 5.12.3: perl -MDevel::PPPort -e 'Devel::PPPort::WriteFile();' Using the generated ppport.h in place of LibYAML/ppport.h got the test suite passing for me with Perl 5.8.5 but I'm still having problems with the regexp test on older Perls (RT #44016).
