Why bother? Good question! Most likely no one will use this but me. Like I said before, I had read about YAML and thought that it was cool. I wanted to learn something new. It should NOT have taken any longer to write than any other config reader. Maybe I'm the only one who ever had this problem? I did find a lot of hits when I googled for it... I think the root of the problem was a) I'm used to using other config file readers, and they all load based on filename, not file contents; b) after a quick scan of the docs, I thought I knew what I was doing; c) the error message I got led me off in the wrong direction.
I'm fairly new to perlmonks and haven't made many contributions, and thought someone might appreciate the examples.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
