Oh my, it misses the point completely. The problem is the automatic call of methods of arbitrary classes, controlled by the external YAML, such as DESTROY. unblessing after loading does not help at all. You need to disallow blessing during load, or provide a whitelist, such as python does. cperl's YAML library does contain the security fixes for some years already: https://github.com/perl11/cperl/blob/master/cpan/YAML-LibYAM..., the cpan version maintained by this person is still vulnerable, besides being incompatible to itself, and unusable for cpan. https://github.com/rurban/yaml-libyaml-pm/tree/safe contains the whitelist variant, as in python.
