topso, I am able to fetch yaml contents but not getting how to make changes in any of the attribute and then save it back. Actually writing the changes in the .yaml file is becoming a pain. Can you help in this?

YAML::XS's `Load` function turn a YAML string into a perl data structure. So you modify those like any other data structure i Perl. And then you call `Dump` to create a YAML string from it again. Which part are you having trouble with? Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes that's working, after doing dump it's showing the changes but when I open .yaml file it is unchanged. I also want that .yaml file to be changed.	[reply]

Well, then you need to write the YAML string to that file. See perlintro, perlopentut. Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed	[reply]
