http://www.cpantesters.org/show/Alien-Base.yaml (and probably others) seems to be an invalid YAML document The real broken document is at http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/A/Alien-Base.yaml
That URL is used by CPAN::Reporter for the "reports" command: "reports JBERGER/Alien-Base-0.003.tar.gz" How to reproduce: $ perl -MLWP::Simple -MYAML -E 'YAML::Load(get shift)' http://www.cpantesters.org/show/Alien-Base.yaml YAML Error: Stream does not end with newline character Code: YAML_PARSE_ERR_NO_FINAL_NEWLINE Line: 0 Document: 0 at /home/omengue/.perl/lib/perl5/YAML/Loader.pm line 38. Fixing the document : $ perl -MLWP::Simple -MYAML -E 'YAML::Load(get(shift)."\n")' http://www.cpantesters.org/show/Alien-Base.yaml Olivier.
