YAML::Any(3)                   User Contributed Perl Documentation                   YAML::Any(3)



NAME
       YAML::Any - Pick a YAML implementation and use it.

SYNOPSIS
           use YAML::Any;
           $YAML::Indent = 3;
           my $yaml = Dump(@objects);

DESCRIPTION
       There are several YAML implementations that support the Dump/Load API.  This module
       selects the best one available and uses it.

ORDER
       Currently, YAML::Any will choose the first one of these YAML implementations that is
       installed on your system:

           YAML::XS
           YAML::Syck
           YAML::Old
           YAML
           YAML::Tiny

OPTIONS
       If you specify an option like:

           $YAML::Indent = 4;

       And YAML::Any is using YAML::XS, it will use the proper variable: $YAML::XS::Indent.

SUBROUTINES
       Like all the YAML modules that YAML::Any uses, the following subroutines are exported by
       default:

           Dump
           Load

       and the following subroutines are exportable by request:

           DumpFile
           LoadFile

METHODS
       YAML::Any provides the following class methods.

       YAML::Any->order;
           This method returns a list of the current possible implementations that YAML::Any will
           search for.

       YAML::Any->implementation;
           This method returns the implementation the YAML::Any will use. This result is obtained
           by finding the first member of YAML::Any->order that is either already loaded in %INC
           or that can be loaded using "require". If no implementation is found, an error will be
           thrown.
