DESCRIPTION

     libsyck is a *gift* from a gifted Stiff named 'Why'.
 
     YAML::Parser::Syck is an XS module that binds libsyck to Perl.

DEPENDENCIES

You'll need to have libsyck installed on your system. See http://whytheluckystiff.net/syck/ for some details.

HOWTO

Please put notes here: http://yaml.kwiki.org/index.cgi?PerlYamlParserSyckHowto

Also see http://www.yaml.org if you are new to YAML.

NOTE from the author.

YAML.pm is showing its age. It works ok most of the time for simple stuff, and some medium stuff. It badly needs a rewrite. And I am working on that rewrite now. The new YAML.pm will have the same simple Dump/Load interface, but will also have much more advanced features like a streaming (node at a time) interface.

The new YAML.pm will also be ``pluggable''. That means that there can be any number of Parsers, Loaders, Dumpers and Emitters written for the framework. YAML::Parser::Syck will be one of the Parsers. There will also be a pure Perl Parser.

I have decided to release the module early so that people might benefit from it. On one hand this Parser is wonderful because it understands the entire current YAML Specification. On the other hand, my Perl wrapper code currently ignores all type information, so it will not be useful for deserializing classes. Be patient.

Still, I think this pre-alpha release is a cause for joy in the Perl YAML community.

Enjoy!

BUGS

You kidding? Don't run this code with out parental supervision and a *BIG* fire extinguisher. 
   * Types are not supported.
   * Error reporting is poor.
