    );

  # Access your properties:
  print "Error: " . $yaml->general->is_not_found;

  # Access another property:
  print "Another error: " . $yaml->contact_email->is_missing;

  # Dies "Node root.general has no property named 'isnt_found'"
  $yaml->general->isnt_found; 

YAML is a simple way to store many strings. Why not use it in place of the typical "properties" file as used by java.util.properties?

Why not give ourselves a nice Perl-ish interface?

Well, here we go. Use Data::Properties::YAML and you have just that.

Returns a new Data::Properties::YAML object based on the structure of your YAML.
