=head1 NAME

TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer - Write YAMLish data

=head1 VERSION

Version 3.00

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer;
    
    my $data = {
        one => 1,
        two => 2,
        three => [ 1, 2, 3 ],
    };
    
    my $yw = TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer->new;
    
    # Write to an array...
    $yw->write( $data, \@some_array );
    
    # ...an open file handle...
    $yw->write( $data, $some_file_handle );
    
    # ...a string ...
    $yw->write( $data, \$some_string );
    
    # ...or a closure
    $yw->write( $data, sub {
        my $line = shift;
        print "$line\n";
    } );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Encodes a scalar, hash reference or array reference as YAMLish.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 Class Methods

=head3 C<new>

 my $writer = TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer->new;

The constructor C<new> creates and returns an empty
C<TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer> object.

=head2 Instance Methods

=head3 C<write>

 $writer->write($obj, $output );

Encode a scalar, hash reference or array reference as YAML.

    my $writer = sub {
        my $line = shift;
        print SOMEFILE "$line\n";
    };
    
    my $data = {
        one => 1,
        two => 2,
        three => [ 1, 2, 3 ],
    };
    
    my $yw = TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer->new;
    $yw->write( $data, $writer );


The C< $output > argument may be:

=over

=item * a reference to a scalar to append YAML to

=item * the handle of an open file

=item * a reference to an array into which YAML will be pushed

=item * a code reference

=back

If you supply a code reference the subroutine will be called once for
each line of output with the line as its only argument. Passed lines
will have no trailing newline.
