This module is similar to MLDBM except that it stores data internally as YAML, instead of Data::Dumper or Storable. By doing this, tied hash DBM databases can be created that can be used seamlessly in Python or Ruby applications. That's because those languages also have YAML and DBM modules. As other languages get YAML support, YAML::MLDBM should be able to be used with them as well. This module is a wrapper around MLDBM, but you open a DBM file using the new() method, instead of using a tie. new() will return a reference to a tied hash. You can also use YAML as a serialization method for MLDBM itself.
