Subject: included YAML version (in inc) no longer usable
Attempting to install String::Diff with perl 5.14.2 Installation/tests fail due to the lack of YAML::Base (several YAML modules are installed on my system). This requirement is from inc/YAML.pm Deleting the YAML.pm file from inc (along with appropriate modified requirements) fixes this issue.

I confirm this with 64-bit Strawberry Perl 5.14.2 on Win32/Vista. The kludgy fix is to just cd into the ~/.cpan/build/String-Diff-0.04-xxxxx/lib directory and delete YAML.pm. Then repeat the mantra, "perl Makefile.PL", "make", "make test", "make install". At that point I get a clean install.

Yep, probably it would be better to remove YAML from inc/ and add a dependency on YAML. It would be great if you could fix this, as I have a module depending on this one, and I would like to have it installing cleanly :D Thank you, ambs

Rather than removing YAML.pm from inc one can probably add include_deps('YAML'); to the Makefile.PL, and all required YAML deps would be included in inc. Regards, Slaven
