perl yaml error

Hi,


If I run the following yaml through the perl yaml parser I get an error:

syn10- spine PF 13:
  -
    - 6.38091
    - 7.73471

perl -e 'use YAML "LoadFile"; my $a = LoadFile("1.yml")'

YAML Error: Invalid element in map
   Code: YAML_LOAD_ERR_BAD_MAP_ELEMENT
   Line: 1
   Document: 1
 at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/YAML.pm line 33


If I remove the 'dash' from the key, or when I quote the key, the
error disappears.

This yaml has been generated using the same perl module.  So, I guess,
this is a bug in the emitter or in the loader, but I am not sure in
which of the two.

Do I have to quote the key name, like "syn10- spine PF 13" ?

Also, on ypaste it works without error, it has ID 8.  So this seems to
say that this is correct yaml and it is a bug in the loader.
