Bug#540338: Confusing manpage

Package: libyaml-perl
Version: 0.68-2

The manpage says the following:

       This module has been released to CPAN as YAML::Old, and soon
       YAML.pm will be changed to just be a frontend interface module
       for all the various Perl YAML implementation modules, including
       YAML::Old.

       If you want robust and fast YAML processing using the normal
       Dump/Load API, please consider switching to YAML::XS. It is by
       far the best Perl module for YAML at this time. It requires
       that you have a C compiler, since it is written in C.

But there isn't any YAML::XS module on CPAN, nor in Debian.
