Actually, if you're getting the rest of the libs, the problem is probably
that you are missing Parse::Lex and Parse::Yapp.  Try installing those.

One of the benefits of moving to the new parser is that you actually get
feedback on where the problem lies, although it's still not as good as i
would like it to be.  It tells you the line number, but that's about it.

I'd like to write a description of the valid files, and then provide some
template files, but in the meantime, I'm willing to answer any questions
you have.

: something that both parties desire but are unwilling to do.'"
