in thread how do i parse a yaml set with perl

The order doesn't matter, but the elements are also simple values... why not make it an array?

If you're making it a hash, then your values are used as the keys of the hash and you have to make up and store dummy values to complete the hash structure. That's confusing and inefficient.

I use it internally as a set. It is true that i can just represent it as an array and internally convert it to a hash. This is a good point	[reply]
