       This module is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl
       itself.

       This is a simple Template Toolkit Plugin Interface to the YAML module.  A YAML object will be
       instantiated via the following directive:

           [% USE YAML %]

       As a standard plugin, you can also specify its name in lower case:

           [% USE yaml %]

       These are the methods supported by the YAML object.

   dump(@variables)
       Generates a raw text dump of the data structure(s) passed

           [% USE Dumper %]
           [% yaml.dump(myvar) %]
           [% yaml.dump(myvar, yourvar) %]

   dump_html(@variables)
       Generates a dump of the data structures, as per "dump", but with the characters <, > and & converted to
       their equivalent HTML entities, spaces converted to &nbsp; and newlines converted to <br>.

           [% USE yaml %]
           [% yaml.dump_html(myvar) %]

   undump($string)
       Converts a YAML-encoded string into the equivalent data structure.  Here's a way to deep-copy a complex
       structure by completely serializing the data.

         [% USE yaml;
            yaml_string = yaml.dump(complex_data_structure);
            complex_copy = yaml.undump(yaml_string);
         %]

   dumpfile($file,@variables)
       Converts the data to YAML encoding, and dumps it to the specified filepath.

         [% USE yaml; yaml.dumpfile(".storage", my_data) %]

   undumpfile($file)
       Loads the YAML-encoded data from the specified filepath

         [% USE yaml; my_data = yaml.undumpfile(".storage") %]
