NAME
YAML::PP::Schema::Perl - Schema for serializing perl objects and special types
SYNOPSIS
use YAML::PP;
# This can be dangerous when loading untrusted YAML!
my $yp = YAML::PP->new( schema => [qw/ + Perl /] );
# or
my $yp = YAML::PP->new( schema => [qw/ Core Perl /] );
my $yaml = $yp->dump_string(sub { return 23 });
# loading code references
# This is very dangerous when loading untrusted YAML!!
my $yp = YAML::PP->new( schema => [qw/ + Perl +loadcode /] );
my $code = $yp->load_string(<<'EOM');
--- !perl/code |
{
use 5.010;
my ($name) = @_;
say "Hello $name!";
}
EOM
$code->("Ingy");
DESCRIPTION
This schema allows you to load and dump perl objects and special types.
Please note that loading objects of arbitrary classes can be dangerous in Perl. You have
to load the modules yourself, but if an exploitable module is loaded and an object is
created, its "DESTROY" method will be called when the object falls out of scope.
File::Temp is an example that can be exploitable and might remove arbitrary files.
Dumping code references is on by default, but not loading (because that is easily
exploitable since it's using string "eval").
Tag Styles
You can define the style of tags you want to support:
my $yp_perl_two_one = YAML::PP->new(
schema => [qw/ + Perl tags=!!perl+!perl /],
);
"!perl" (default)
Only "!perl/type" tags are supported.
"!!perl"
Only "!!perl/type" tags are supported.
"!perl+!!perl"
Both "!perl/type" and "!!perl/tag" are supported when loading. When dumping,
"!perl/type" is used.
"!!perl+!perl"
Both "!perl/type" and "!!perl/tag" are supported when loading. When dumping,
"!!perl/type" is used.
YAML.pm, YAML::Syck and YAML::XS are using "!!perl/type" when dumping.
YAML.pm and YAML::Syck are supporting both "!perl/type" and "!!perl/type" when loading.
YAML::XS currently only supports the latter.
Allow only certain classes
Since v0.017
Blessing arbitrary objects can be dangerous. Maybe you want to allow blessing only
specific classes and ignore others. For this you have to instantiate a Perl Schema object
first and use the "classes" option.
Currently it only allows a list of strings:
my $perl = YAML::PP::Schema::Perl->new(
classes => ['Foo', 'Bar'],
);
my $yp = YAML::PP::Perl->new(
schema => [qw/ + /, $perl],
);
Allowed classes will be loaded and dumped as usual. The others will be ignored.
If you want to allow no objects at all, pass an empty array ref.
EXAMPLES
This is a list of the currently supported types and how they are dumped into YAML:
array

[
qw/ one two three four /
]
# YAML
---
- one
- two
- three
- four
array_blessed
# Code
bless [
qw/ one two three four /
], "Just::An::Arrayref"
# YAML
--- !perl/array:Just::An::Arrayref
- one
- two
- three
- four
circular
# Code
my $circle = bless [ 1, 2 ], 'Circle';
push @$circle, $circle;
$circle;
# YAML
--- &1 !perl/array:Circle
- 1
- 2
- *1
coderef
# Code
sub {
my (%args) = @_;
return $args{x} + $args{y};
}
# YAML
--- !perl/code |-
{
use warnings;
use strict;
(my(%args) = @_);
(return ($args{'x'} + $args{'y'}));
}
coderef_blessed
# Code
bless sub {
my (%args) = @_;
return $args{x} - $args{y};
}, "I::Am::Code"

METHODS
new
my $perl = YAML::PP::Schema::Perl->new(
tags => "!perl",
classes => ['MyClass'],
loadcode => 1,
);
The constructor recognizes the following options:
tags
Default: '"!perl"'
See "Tag Styles"
classes
Default: "undef"
Since: v0.017
Accepts an array ref of class names
loadcode
Default: 0
register
A class method called by YAML::PP::Schema
construct_ref, represent_ref
Perl variables of the type "REF" are represented in yaml like this:
--- !perl/ref
=:
a: 1
"construct_ref" returns the perl data:
my $data = YAML::PP::Schema::Perl->construct_ref([ '=', { some => 'data' } );
my $data = \{ a => 1 };
"represent_ref" turns a "REF" variable into a YAML mapping:
my $data = YAML::PP::Schema::Perl->represent_ref(\{ a => 1 });
my $data = { '=' => { a => 1 } };
construct_scalar, represent_scalar
Perl variables of the type "SCALAR" are represented in yaml like this:
--- !perl/scalar
=: string
"construct_scalar" returns the perl data:
my $data = YAML::PP::Schema::Perl->construct_ref([ '=', 'string' );
my $data = \'string';
"represent_scalar" turns a "SCALAR" variable into a YAML mapping:
my $data = YAML::PP::Schema::Perl->represent_scalar(\'string');
my $data = { '=' => 'string' };
construct_regex, represent_regex
"construct_regex" returns a "qr{}" object from the YAML string:
my $qr = YAML::PP::Schema::Perl->construct_regex('foo.*');
"represent_regex" returns a string representing the regex object:
my $string = YAML::PP::Schema::Perl->represent_regex(qr{...});
evaluate_code, represent_code
"evaluate_code" returns a code reference from a string. The string must start with a
"{" and end with a "}".
my $code = YAML::PP::Schema::Perl->evaluate_code('{ return 23 }');
"represent_code" returns a string representation of the code reference with the help
of B::Deparse:
my $string = YAML::PP::Schema::Perl->represent_code(sub { return 23 });
construct_glob, represent_glob
"construct_glob" returns a glob from a hash.
my $glob = YAML::PP::Schema::Perl->construct_glob($hash);
"represent_glob" returns a hash representation of the glob.
my $hash = YAML::PP::Schema::Perl->represent_glob($glob);
object
Does the same as "bless":
my $object = YAML::PP::Schema::Perl->object($data, $class);
