The installer is a week or so behind of CVS.  You'll have to wait for an 
update or find someone who has compiled the latest Ruby source on Windows.

Yeah, that example should actually be:

  s = YAML::load( File::open( 'syck-0.35.yml' ) )
  
  (or)

  s = YAML::load( File::open( 'syck-0.35.yml' ).read )

You can stream from a file or from a string.  See YAML.rb docs at 
http://yaml4r.sf.net/doc/.  Good luck.
