Hmm, so it does, I guess the extra logic in the Config::YAML plugin must
be historic.

I'm surprised I'm being asked to do this tbh.  I would have thought that
the extra benefits would have spoken for themselves.

OK, how about this.  If you use the Config::YAML plugin, and you later
want to change it to use JSON instead, you just need to change one thing
- s/YAML/JSON/.  Or maybe you want to make an LDAP config plugin, no
problem, just s/YAML/LDAP/.  This assumes you don't actually bother
specifying the config file location and the config modules are capable
of autoconfiguring suitably.
