What, if anything, are you using for handling and managing the multiple
Perl installations?

If you haven't hit that yet, take a look at *perlbrew*.  It can
automatically manage (download, install, setup, and switch between)
multiple Perl installations for you.  Switching your Perl environment from
one version to another is as easy as 'perlbrew switch perl-1.2.3'.  Within
each environment, you can easily install whichever modules you want,
including your YAML library.

Note, there are a couple of recent perlbrew alternatives that have popped
up, too.  I haven't tried any of them yet, and perlbrew has worked really
well for my needs, so I haven't had any incentive to do so.  If you run
into limitations with perlbrew, it might be worth checking some of them out.
