Hi, I am installing braker and it requires a set of Perl modules to be installed. I am having a hard time installing the YAML::XS module. I am using Perl v5.38.

The Perl module was installed using cpanm command, and when I run perldoc -l YAML::XS it shows There is No documentation.

The directory, where the libraries and executables exist, was added to the PATH and PERL5LIB environment variable, and still the XS.pm is missing in the YAML folder.

I tried to re-install the library in two different ways: cpanm --local-lib=~/perl5 --reinstall YAML::XS and cpanm --force -v YAML::XS still not resolved.

What is happening here, should I install a different version of Perl? Is it possible to manually install YAML/XS.pm?
