YAML.pm doesn't handle : in comments correctly

[mscha]

YAML doesn't handle a : in a comment correctly - it appears to end the comment.
YAML::XS does work correctly.

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use 5.024;
use warnings;
use YAML;
use YAML::XS;

my $yaml = <<'YAML';
---
- foo   # test: 123
- bar   # test: 456
YAML

say "YAML $YAML::VERSION";
print YAML::Dump(YAML::Load($yaml));

say '';
say "YAML::XS $YAML::XS::VERSION";
print YAML::XS::Dump(YAML::XS::Load($yaml));

Output:

YAML 1.30
---
- foo: 123
- bar: 456

YAML::XS 0.82
---
- foo
- bar

YAML.pm was one of the first YAML libraries, written for YAML 1.0, and it has many more bugs.
It's unlikely that this is getting fixed, unless you want to give it a try.
I can recommend YAML::PP, I consider it stable as long as you only use the documented frontend API, or YAML::XS if you need something fast.

I can confirm that YAML::PP does the right thing in this case.
It's a bit unfortunate, though, that the most obvious YAML module for Perl is the buggiest one.
