YAML::Tiny fails to parse a hash where the key beigns with
'-' (e.g. '-foo') with the error:
YAML::Tiny found illegal characters in plain scalar: 'family: 'Courier 10 Pitch'' at test-yaml.pl line 21.
Here's an example below, with a test program, the yaml file written by
the test program and the result of the script:
$ cat test-yaml.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
use YAML::Tiny;
use XXX;
my $data = {
'-weight' => 'normal',
'-overstrike' => 0,
'-size' => -13,
'-slant' => 'roman',
'-underline' => 0,
'-family' => 'Courier 10 Pitch'
};
my $config_file= 'test.yml';
my $config_yaml = YAML::Tiny->new ( { font => $data } );
$config_yaml->write($config_file);
my $new_config = YAML::Tiny->read($config_file) ;
YYY $new_config;
devel$ cat test.yml

font:
-family: 'Courier 10 Pitch'
-overstrike: 0
-size: -13
