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originally made as a prototype, over 2 years before the YAML 1.0 spec was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
