Worse there are a few apparently serious years old bugs.
Ingy is currently rewriting the YAML implementation (in fact, he's backporting the Python port to Perl), which should fix a lot of the bugs. It's my understanding he rewrite is closed to be finished (didn't he get a grand from TPF for this?).
As for JSON being more readable, JSON is actually a subset of YAML - anything that is valid JSON is valid YAML as well (but not the other way around).
If I want Perl to dump a structure which I want to read, I almost always use YAML - I find its output reasonable readable. For input, I prefer ini or apache like config files. I use Config::General to read it. But people vary in what they find readable/writable so don't expect a definite answer in this thread.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
