Hello everybody,

I have a problem using YAML, in particular I want to save the values with also the hash variable name.

Example in my code I have the following code: 
 
use YAML  qw'DumpFile LoadFile';
. 
. 
.
DumpFile("test.yaml", \%test);

[download]
In the generated test.yaml I have always the following information: 
---
key1: value1
key2: value2

[download]
But I would like to have the following datas: 
test:
 key1: value1
 key2: value2

[download]

In particular I would substitute the --- with the name of hash variable.

How could I generate this output in the file? Is it possible? Thanks in advance Pazzeo
