Print the structure in YAML for debugging? IMHO, I don't think so.

The indentation problem of Data::Dumper is fixed with $Data::Dumper::Indent = 1; - not by using some other format that I'll bet most of us don't know. (After all, we know how to read perl hashes!) I don't know YAML, and given that XML is now Lingua Franca, I doubt I'll be learning it.

(And how would he produce the YAML output, assuming the modules exist, when his problem is that he can't get the XML to parse the way he wants? Another module to learn?)
