you are misunderstand what i written.
I did not say Perl is no good for string processing, so the word "attack" is , IMO, not really appropriate. what i merely wanted to say is, tools such as awk, Python, Ruby, PHP etc all are as good as Perl for string processing, hence the word "overhyped". Perl has its days where its an excellent tool for text/string processing, however with the proliferation of programming languages in this age, most of them are as capable to do this job.

cgi::session::serialize::yaml
CGI::Session::Serialize::yaml(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation CGI::Session::Serialize::yaml(3pm)
NAME
CGI::Session::Serialize::yaml - serializer for CGI::Session
DESCRIPTION
This library can be used by CGI::Session to serialize session data. It uses "YAML", or the faster C implementation, "YAML::Syck" if it is
available. YAML serializers exist not just for Perl but also other dynamic languages, such as PHP, Python, and Ruby, so storing session
data in this format makes it easy to share session data across different languages.
YAML is made to be friendly for humans to parse as well as other computer languages. It creates a format that is easier to read than the
default serializer.
METHODS
freeze($class, \%hash)
Receives two arguments. First is the class name, the second is the data to be serialized. Should return serialized string on success,
undef on failure. Error message should be set using "set_error()|CGI::Session::ErrorHandler/"set_error()""
thaw($class, $string)
Received two arguments. First is the class name, second is the "YAML" data string. Should return thawed data structure on success,
undef on failure. Error message should be set using "set_error()|CGI::Session::ErrorHandler/"set_error()""
SEE ALSO
"CGI::Session", "YAML", "YAML::Syck".
