       This module implements a subset of the YAML specification for use in reading and writing CPAN metadata
       files like META.yml and MYMETA.yml.  It should not be used for any other general YAML parsing or
       generation task.

       NOTE: META.yml (and MYMETA.yml) files should be UTF-8 encoded.  Users are responsible for proper encoding
       and decoding.  In particular, the "read" and "write" methods do not support UTF-8 and should not be used.

       YAML::Tiny, YAML, YAML::XS

       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:
       <https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/YAML-Tiny/issues>

           use CPAN::Meta::YAML;

           # reading a META file
           open $fh, "<:utf8", "META.yml";
           $yaml_text = do { local $/; <$fh> };
           $yaml = CPAN::Meta::YAML->read_string($yaml_text)
             or die CPAN::Meta::YAML->errstr;

           # finding the metadata
           $meta = $yaml->[0];

           # writing a META file
           $yaml_text = $yaml->write_string
             or die CPAN::Meta::YAML->errstr;
           open $fh, ">:utf8", "META.yml";
           print $fh $yaml_text;
