I write my yaml data by hand, this has helped me check that everything is OK.
------------------ 

require 'yaml'
require 'pp'

info_for_test = YAML::load( File.open('data_for_test.yml' ))
pp info_for_test

---------------------------------------

Since I came from the Perl world, I tend to think 
that all the world's problems can be solved by always using a hash. So as
you can imagine, info_for_test would be a hash variable.
