My module doesn't care which YAML is around, just that it can Dump and Load.
I'd like to make it YAML module agnostic, as there are several out there.
There's YAML::Any, but that ships with YAML, and what if that's not installed?
This works; but it ain't pretty:
use List::Util qw[ first ];
my $class = first { eval "use $_; 1" } qw[ YAML::XS YAML::Syck YAML::T
+iny YAML];
Is there a more refined approach?
Thanks!
Update 1: fixed code to stop after the first successful load.
Update 2: code is even better now
Update 3: The code should be polite and use an already loaded module, if possible.
use List::Util qw[ first ];
use Class::Load qw[ load_first_existing_class is_class_loaded ];
my @CLASSES = qw[ YAML::Tiny YAML::XS YAML::Syck YAML ];
my $class = ( first { is_class_loaded $_ } @CLASSES )
|| ( load_first_existing_class @CLASSES );

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>

-
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).
