IOW: Yes, the top level container is "--- " the YAML document delimiter, of which there can be many in a single file or stream, one object per document or make the document an anonymous array of anonymous hashes for multiple objects of the same type: - a: 1 b: 2 c: 3 - a: 2 b: 4 c: 6 I added the My::Object as meta data because I wasn't sure how you were intending to use it there, and I wanted to keep metadata separated from the "column" data. If you just want simple data structures then JSON and YAML have syntax intersections that allow you to produce 1 format of anonymous hashes and arrays that is both valid JSON and valid YAML. http://search.cpan.org/dist/JSON-Syck/lib/JSON/Syck.pm -- Clayton Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Clayton Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
