NAME
File::Sticker::Reader::YamlPrefix - read and standardize meta-data from YAML-prefixed text file
VERSION
version 3.0008
SYNOPSIS
use File::Sticker::Reader::YamlPrefix;
my $obj = File::Sticker::Reader::YamlPrefix->new(%args);
my %meta = $obj->read_meta($filename);DESCRIPTION
This will read meta-data from plain text files where the first part of the file contains YAML data, set up as if it is a YAML stream. That is, the file starts with '---' on one line, then there is YAML data, then there is another '---' line, and all content after that is ignored. Then it will standardize it to a common nomenclature, such as "tags" for things called tags, or Keywords or Subject etc.
This format can be useful as a way of storing meta-data in documents or in wiki pages.
