You can find more information on the speaker's site:


For this talk it would be good to have a basic understanding of YAML. Here's a short introduction if you never heard of it: https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/yaml/

But with YAML you can do more than reading config files and serialize data.
CPAN has several YAML modules, all with their own features and bugs, all implementing YAML 1.0 or 1.1.
I wanted a parser that can parse YAML 1.2, has a tokenizer that can roundtrip including comments and lets you add your own serialization callbacks.
It's still work in progress, but the basics are already working.
I'll show you what it can do and what I want it to do in the future.
