textproc/p5-YAML-Tiny 1.76nb2 NetBSD

YAML::Tiny is a perl class for reading and writing YAML-style files, written with as little code as possible, reducing load time and memory overhead.

Most of the time it is accepted that Perl applications use a lot of memory and modules. The ::Tiny family of modules is specifically intended to provide an ultralight and zero-dependency alternative to many more-thorough standard modules.

This module is primarily for reading human-written files (like simple config files) and generating very simple human-readable files. Note that I said human-readable and not geek-readable. The sort of files that your average manager or secretary should be able to look at and make sense of.

YAML::Tiny does not generate comments, it won't necesarily preserve the order of your hashes, and it will normalise if reading in and writing out again.

It only supports a very basic subset of the full YAML specification.
