.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module implements a subset of the YAML specification for use in reading
and writing CPAN metadata files like \fIMETA.yml\fR and \fIMYMETA.yml\fR.  It should
not be used for any other general YAML parsing or generation task.
.PP
NOTE: \fIMETA.yml\fR (and \fIMYMETA.yml\fR) files should be UTF\-8 encoded.  Users are
responsible for proper encoding and decoding.  In particular, the \f(CW\*(C`read\*(C'\fR and
\&\f(CW\*(C`write\*(C'\fR methods do \fBnot\fR support UTF\-8 and should not be used.
.SH SUPPORT
.IX Header "SUPPORT"
This module is currently derived from YAML::Tiny by Adam Kennedy.  If
there are bugs in how it parses a particular META.yml file, please file
a bug report in the YAML::Tiny bugtracker:
