Subject: using YAML as config

Hi all -

I want to write a config file in YAML.  In this file I will store a
small graph of objects in an array:

- !mydomain,mydate/Company
  name: TuesdayCo
  subthings:
    - !mydomain,mydate/Person
      name: Ruby Tuesday
    - !mydomain,mydate/Person
      name: Tuesday Weld
- !mydomain,myDate
  name: FridayCo
  subthings:
    etc.

Then I want to read in this file and get an array of Company objects,
each of which has an array of Person objects.  I'm defining these
classes myself.  I've tried using add_domain_type and hoped to get
instances of my classes, but instead I got instances of
YAML::DomainType.

How should I do this?

-larry
