So I just installed YAML::Tiny and can't get it to work, as I've only installed maybe one other module before I'm very unsure if its working or just me.
make test and make install both passed with no issues, so i'm leaning towards some silly code mistake i'm making.. I have this script to test:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use YAML::Tiny; my $orders_yam = "./customers.yml"; #### TEST a YAML file my $yaml = YAML::Tiny->new(); ### Open the config my $yaml = YAML::Tiny->read( "$orders_yam" ) or die "Couldn't read fil +e: errno($!) : errstr =", YAML::Tiny->errstr; my $root = $yaml->[1]->{email}; print "\nFirst item is: $root\n";

The customers.yml file goes like:

#customers and order's --- email: goose@gmail.com orders: - order: wb090130 item: 0001 item: 0002 price: 3.98 downloads: 3 - order: wb090131 item: 0003 item: 0004 price: 3.98 downloads: 5 total: 7.96 --- email: cowboy@bebop.com
Learning perl, one %hash at a time....
