I'll assume you've done something like remove the ubuntu Scalar::Util  
package?
That would make YAML unhappy

Try to just download Scalar::Util from http://search.cpan.org/dist/ 
Scalar-List-Utils/
and run perl Makefile.PL && make && make test && make install manually.
If you do that, you can also convince yourself that things are happy  
by running
prove -lv t/weak.t to test weaken()
