    ... and a C compiler :)
    
    I'm terribly impressed with YAML::Syck, but I look at the entirity of the YAML spec and there's an enormous amount of, well, STUFF.
    
    Does it handle all of the spec?

      Yes. Syck is the most complete implementation of YAML. :-)

        Hmm... but how much of the spec is that?
        
        I note for example that the documentation explicitly says it doesn't handle circular references. It there anything else like that?

          Where does it say that? That's already solved long ago. :-) The only two unsupported features is "Force the Merge Key" and "Force Comments". See http://whytheluckystiff.net/syck/ [whytheluckystiff.net] for details. I've added Unicode support beyond what libsyck originally offers.

            Wow, thanks for the reminder; I have forgotten to push the new release (that handles circular refs and has been tested to be 5.005-compatible) to CPAN. 0.42 has been uploaded. Thanks for the reminder. :)
