[Catalyst] JSON instead of YAML?

[James FitzGibbon]

Well, that's not entirely fair.  If you read the Spiffy docs, it is quite
explicit that this is a caveat of using Spiffy, that it must be loaded
before base.pm, and provides a workaround:

http://search.cpan.org/~ingy/Spiffy-0.29/lib/Spiffy.pm#USING_Spiffy_WITH_bas
e.pm

I think the issue is that the YAML docs don't make it clear enough that it
inherits Spiffy's caveats.

It seems so. The documentation for it makes me shudder.

The main thing it does badly is interoperate with other modules. I dare
say that removing the "naughty" replacement of base::import would be a
very good start.

Seems some bugs were cleared up amongst all the other changes:
