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

## METHODS
### Class Methods
   "new"
     my $writer = [TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/TAP%3A%3AParser%3A%3AYAMLish%3A%3AWriter/markdown)->new;

    The constructor "new" creates and returns an empty "[TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/TAP%3A%3AParser%3A%3AYAMLish%3A%3AWriter/markdown)" object.

### Instance Methods
   "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](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/TAP%3A%3AParser%3A%3AYAMLish%3A%3AWriter/markdown)->new;
        $yw->write( $data, $writer );

    The $output argument may be:

    *   a reference to a scalar to append YAML to

    *   the handle of an open file

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

    *   a code reference

    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.
