cpan reports function is broken?

[Michiel Beijen]

If I try this I get an error;

cpan[1]> reports VPIT/Variable-Magic-0.51.tar.gz
Reading '/home/michiel/.cpan/Metadata'

The file I get if I go tho the mentioned URL
http://www.cpantesters.org/show/Variable-Magic.yaml manually, is 200k
lines long, and it also contains results for earlier versions of
Variable-Magic. Is that to be expected?

I cannot reproduce your problem, I get a clear answer:

Ah I see, you use YAML::Syck.

my yaml_module was set to 'YAML'; so I now set 'o conf yaml_module
YAML::XS' and reports display fine. YAML::Syck obviously also does
the trick, but I did not have that installed...

Thanks!
