Less of a problem these days.  Parse::CPAN::Meta is now in the core, so
CPAN.pm now does configure_requires processing out of the box.  Of course,
you'll still get problems on older installations that have somehow missed
out on installing any YAML modules or a sufficiently recent CPAN.pm.

This failure is very transparent.  It says which module it failed
to load, which is a nice big clue for the user to install it first
(manually handling the dependency).  So overall I wouldn't worry about it.
