Having played with the RoR framework, I have become interested in using YAML as a means of setting up configuration files for some of my Perl scripts. I more commonly use ActiveState in a Windows environment so started looking at the binaries available thru the Perl Package Manager. What I did find was rather dis-hearting in that the build status of all YAML related packages did not look so good; FAIL with test results of dubious. Since all I really want to do is use simple configuration file layout to initialize some of my scripts (providing scallars and hashes) and hope that that some of these modules will catch up with what Ruby and Python are doing in the near future. Is there anything that out there that anyone could recommend?
What about an easy to use non-YAML solution?
Thanks
