Subject: Re: to_yaml in utf-8 encoding

Thanks for Your help,

strange, but maybe there are the "require 'yaml'" statement missing?

Yes, I heard of this, You can also use this shortcut to do that:

  export RUBYOPT="-Ku -rrubygems"

Sorry, I don't understand it, You shown that the cryptic output of YAML
can be loaded back to normal object.
But in my situation it's not enough, I need not ony load it back later
but it also should be readable in it's marshalled form.

I need to modify thouse *.yaml configs by hand, so those cryptic stuff
like "\xE2\x82\xAC" in *.yaml files is unacceptable.
