Hi, I am using both the YAML and IO::All modules and am really confused about the output I am getting.
My code looks something like this: 
$filePath = $ioObject->pathname;
print $filePath;
.
.
.
#sets myObject attribute myPath to $filePath 
$myObject->myPath($filePath);
Dump($myObject) > $aFile;

[download]
The print statement prints "dir/dir/dir/file.ext". However in $aFile the file path is prepended with "? >- \n ".

Any idea what that is all about? Evena suggestion about whether it is being caused by YAML or IO::All, would be good. I'm fairly sure it doesn't have anything to do with the way I am setting attributes in my object, as it only happens with attributes which are paths retrieved from IO::All objects.

Many thanks,
Swampi
