SYNOPSIS

12           use CPAN::Meta::YAML;
13
14           # reading a META file
15           open $fh, "<:utf8", "META.yml";
16           $yaml_text = do { local $/; <$fh> };
17           $yaml = CPAN::Meta::YAML->read_string($yaml_text)
18             or die CPAN::Meta::YAML->errstr;
19
20           # finding the metadata
21           $meta = $yaml->[0];
22
23           # writing a META file
24           $yaml_text = $yaml->write_string
25             or die CPAN::Meta::YAML->errstr;

DESCRIPTION

30       This module implements a subset of the YAML specification for use in
31       reading and writing CPAN metadata files like META.yml and MYMETA.yml.
32       It should not be used for any other general YAML parsing or generation
33       task.
34
35       NOTE: META.yml (and MYMETA.yml) files should be UTF-8 encoded.  Users
36       are responsible for proper encoding and decoding.  In particular, the
37       "read" and "write" methods do not support UTF-8 and should not be used.

SUPPORT

40       This module is currently derived from YAML::Tiny by Adam Kennedy.  If
41       there are bugs in how it parses a particular META.yml file, please file
42       a bug report in the YAML::Tiny bugtracker:
