perl-YAML

If you need to use YAML with Perl, it is likely that you will have a look at this module (YAML.pm) first. There are several YAML modules in Perl and they all support the simple Load() and Dump() API. Since this one has the obvious name "YAML", it may seem obvious to pick this one. The author of this module humbly asks you to choose another. YAML.pm was the very first YAML implementation in the world, released in 2001. It was originally made as a prototype, over 2 years before the YAML 1.0 spec was published. Although it may work for your needs, it has numerous bugs and is barely maintained. Please consider using these first: * YAML::PP - Pure Perl, full featured, well maintained * YAML::PP::LibYAML - A libyaml Perl binding like YAML::XS but with the YAML::PP API
