 Log Message:
 Update p5-YAML to 0.62.
 Based on patch provided by Martin Wilke via PR 34343
 (avoiding interaction in configure stage).
 
 *** WARNING ***
 
 This release breaks compatibility with versions earlier than version 0.60 of
 YAML::Syck and YAML.pm when serializing blessed references.
 
 from COMPATIBILITY:
 YAML.pm 0.60 breaks compatability with older version by changing the
 tags that are output for serialized objects.
 
 This was the old way:
 
     --- !perl/Foo::Bar {}
     --- !perl/@Baz []
     --- !perl/$Quux ""
 
 New way:
 
     --- !!perl/hash:Foo::Bar {}
     --- !!perl/array:Baz []
     --- !!perl/scalar:Quux ""
 
 * This change was made after discussions with the Python and Ruby
   implementors to standardize on this form.
 * YAML::Syck was updated at the same time as YAML.pm so that they
   serialize objects the same way.
 * YAML.pm roundtrips the new format and still parses the old (now
   deprecated) format.
 * The best strategy is to update to the latest version.
 * There are potential problems if you use YAML for RPC and the server
   and client versions don't match.
