NAME

       CPAN::Meta::YAML - Read and write a subset of YAML for CPAN Meta files

VERSION

       version 0.008

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: <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=YAML-Tiny>
