I don't know what's up with the YAML issues.  When I upgraded I
discovered that the latest greatest version of DBIx-Class didn't seem
to make squeezeboxserver very happy.  I downgraded to an earlier
DBIx-Class release (manually, as described here:

  http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-questions@freebsd.org/msg233242.html

) and things worked.

I'd start by getting everything up to the current version (a current
perl should be 5.10.1, I believe) and then step DBIx-class back one
step and see if that works for you.
