.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module implements a subset of the \s-1YAML\s0 specification for use in reading
and writing \s-1CPAN\s0 metadata files like \fI\s-1META\s0.yml\fR and \fI\s-1MYMETA\s0.yml\fR.  It should
not be used for any other general \s-1YAML\s0 parsing or generation task.
.PP
\&\s-1NOTE:\s0 \fI\s-1META\s0.yml\fR (and \fI\s-1MYMETA\s0.yml\fR) files should be \s-1UTF\-8\s0 encoded.  Users are
responsible for proper encoding and decoding.  In particular, the \f(CW\*(C`read\*(C'\fR and
\&\f(CW\*(C`write\*(C'\fR methods do \fBnot\fR support \s-1UTF\-8\s0 and should not be used.
.SH "SUPPORT"
.IX Header "SUPPORT"
This module is currently derived from YAML::Tiny by Adam Kennedy.  If
there are bugs in how it parses a particular \s-1META\s0.yml file, please file
a bug report in the YAML::Tiny bugtracker:
