=head1 NAME

yaml_to_db - convert a subset of YAML into fsdb

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    yaml_to_db <source.yaml

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Converts a I<very limited> subset of YAML into Fsdb format.

The input is YAML-format (I<not> fsdb).
The input is parsed as YAML, 
assuming the file is an array of dictionary entries.
We extract the dictionary names and output this as an fsdb table.

We also flatten one level of lists into comma-separated values.

The output is tab-separated fsdb.
(Someday more general field separators should be supported.)

=head1 OPTIONS


=for comment
begin_standard_fsdb_options

This module also supports the standard fsdb options:

=over 4

=item B<-d>

Enable debugging output.

=item B<-i> or B<--input> InputSource

Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or C<-> for standard input,
or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.

=item B<-o> or B<--output> OutputDestination

Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or C<-> for standard output,
or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.

=item B<--autorun> or B<--noautorun>

By default, programs process automatically,
but Fsdb::Filter objects in Perl do not run until you invoke
the run() method.
The C<--(no)autorun> option controls that behavior within Perl.

=item B<--help>

Show help.

=item B<--man>

Show full manual.
