NAME
       YAML::Any - Pick a YAML implementation and use it.

SYNOPSIS
	   use YAML::Any;
	   $YAML::Indent = 3;
	   my $yaml = Dump(@objects);

DESCRIPTION
       There are several YAML implementations that support the Dump/Load API.
       This module selects the best one available and uses it.

ORDER
       Currently, YAML::Any will choose the first one of these YAML implemen-
       tations that is installed on your system:

	   YAML::XS
	   YAML::Syck
	   YAML::Old
	   YAML
	   YAML::Tiny

OPTIONS
       If you specify an option like:

	   $YAML::Indent = 4;

       And YAML::Any is using YAML::XS, it will use the proper variable:
       $YAML::XS::Indent.

SUBROUTINES
       Like all the YAML modules that YAML::Any uses, the following subrou-
       tines are exported by default:

	   Dump
	   Load

       and the following subroutines are exportable by request:

	   DumpFile
	   LoadFile

METHODS
       YAML::Any provides the following class methods.

       YAML::Any->order;
	   This method returns a list of the current possible implementations
	   that YAML::Any will search for.

       YAML::Any->implementation;
	   This method returns the implementation the YAML::Any will use.
	   This result is obtained by finding the first member of
	   YAML::Any->order that is either already loaded in %INC or that can
	   be loaded using "require". If no implementation is found, an error
	   will be thrown.
