Data files in Perl module distributions?
I usually do this by just storing the YAML in a perl module. So I have:
package My::Package::Data1;
use YAML::Syck;
my @in = <DATA>;
$Data = Load(join('',@in));
__DATA__
---
key: val
key: val
...
If the YAML files are really complicated, or generated from something else, or used in a non-perl context, this might not be ideal, but if they're strictly internal to the perl module, I like this since it avoids all of the complexities of handling data files on the myriad of architectures and installation setups that it might be used on.
