They can also be Data::Dumper-style files - kinda handy when your
testing boxes don't have YAML installed. I use this shell script to
automatically generate DD from YAML:
#!/bin/sh
for i in *yml; do
if [[ ! -e $i.dd || $i -nt $i.dd ]]; then
echo Rebuilding $i
ysh < $i > $i.dd
fi
done
Obviously this requires that ysh is in your path, which in turn requires
that you have *a* perl with YAML installed, but in my case, that's the
system-wide perl in /usr/bin, whereas my testers all use
~/cpantesting/perl-$VERSION/bin/perl.
