FYI (but I suppose you know).

The META.yml file that comes with 
DMAKI/DateTime-Format-Japanese-0.01.tar.gz cannot be parsed by YAML::Syck.

% ysh -MYAML::Syck <
/home/k/.cpan/build/DateTime-Format-Japanese-0.01-UGq5Vv/META.yml
Syck parser (line 8, column -1): syntax error at /usr/local/bin/ysh line
241, <STDIN> line 35.


YAML.pm can parse it.

Is this still an issue?

Yes.

Here is a shorter test case:

perl -MYAML -le 'Load "---\n- ! >-\n"'
(no output)

perl -MYAML::Syck -le 'Load "---\n- ! >-\n"'
Syck parser (line 3, column -1): syntax error at
/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.13.0-214-g618c9ef/lib/site_perl/5.13.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi-ld/YAML/Syck.pm
line 75.


I "hope" you can reproduce the example.

I've added a TODO test to t/1-basic.t

That said, are you sure this is a part of the YAML 1.0 spec?

Not at all. I just encountered an incompatibility in the wild. Not
trying to imply anything.
