Running above script gives this error:
YAML Error: Invalid element in map

The file foo.yaml is created and looks as follows:
---
= foo: bar
Opening the file with an editor and putting quotes around the key, so
that it looks as shown below, and then trying to load it, works fine.
---
'= foo': bar
my $loaded = YAML::LoadFile "foo.yaml"; # This works, after editting file
$ perl -v
