ShipIt is very cool deployment tool for upload file to CPAN.but, I hate the format of the .shipit.I want more structured configuration file format, likes YAML.I like plagger style configuration file.

current format is likes follow:

steps = FindVersion, ChangeVersion, CheckChangeLog, DistTest, Commit, Tag, MakeDist, UploadCPAN
# if directory, where the normal "make dist" puts its file.
MakeDist.destination = ~/shipit-dist
svn.tagpattern = ShipIt-%v
CheckChangeLog.files = ChangeLog

If we use YAML.pm then...:

---
plugins:
- module: FindVersion
- module: ChangeVersion
- module: CheckChangeLog
- module: DistTest
- module: Commit
- module: Tag
     conf:
       pattern: ShipIt-%V
- module: MakeDist
    conf:
      destination: ~/shipit-dist
- module: UploadCPAN

This is just an idea :)
