Hmm.

Do you know what version of YAML.pm you have installed on your server?  If 
it's not the latest, could you try updating it, and see if the problem 
persists?

Can you see if you can parse the YAML directly, without Dancer's involvement?

E.g.:

  perl -MData::Dump=pp -MYAML -E 'say pp(YAML::LoadFile("config.yml"));'
