NAME
CPAN::Meta::YAML - Read and write a subset of YAML for CPAN Meta files
VERSION
version 0.018
SYNOPSIS
use CPAN::Meta::YAML;
# reading a META file
open $fh, "<:utf8", "META.yml";
$yaml_text = do { local $/; <$fh> };
$yaml = CPAN::Meta::YAML->read_string($yaml_text)
or die CPAN::Meta::YAML->errstr;
# finding the metadata
$meta = $yaml->[0];
# writing a META file
$yaml_text = $yaml->write_string
or die CPAN::Meta::YAML->errstr;
open $fh, ">:utf8", "META.yml";
print $fh $yaml_text;
DESCRIPTION
This module implements a subset of the YAML specification for use in
reading and writing CPAN metadata files like META.yml and MYMETA.yml.
It should not be used for any other general YAML parsing or generation
task.
NOTE: META.yml (and MYMETA.yml) files should be UTF-8 encoded. Users
are responsible for proper encoding and decoding. In particular, the
"read" and "write" methods do not support UTF-8 and should not be used.
SUPPORT
This module is currently derived from YAML::Tiny by Adam Kennedy. If
there are bugs in how it parses a particular META.yml file, please file
a bug report in the YAML::Tiny bugtracker:
