Perl Read YAML from a variable to hash - perl

Question

I have a linux command which fetches some data in yaml format from an api. I was looking for a way to populate this variable to a hash array. I was trying YAML::Tiny and the chunk of code that I wrote was
use YAML::Tiny;
my $stuff = `unix command that returns as yaml output`
my $yaml = YAML::Tiny->new;
$yaml = YAML::Tiny->new->read_string->($stuff);
but running with this code will error out as
Can't use string ("") as a subroutine ref while "strict refs" in use
$stuff variable would look like
Cluster1:
source_mount: /mnt/uploads
dir: /a /b
default: yes
destination_mount: /var/pub
Cluster2:
source_mount: /mnt/uploads
dir: /c /d /e
default: no
destination_mount: /var/pub

You should not use new twice, and there should not be -> after read_string (refer to the POD for YAML::Tiny). Change:
$yaml = YAML::Tiny->new->read_string->($stuff);
to:
$yaml = YAML::Tiny->read_string($stuff);
Here is a complete working example:
use warnings;
use strict;
use YAML::Tiny;
my $stuff = '
Cluster1:
source_mount: /mnt/uploads
dir: /a /b
default: yes
destination_mount: /var/pub
Cluster2:
source_mount: /mnt/uploads
dir: /c /d /e
default: no
destination_mount: /var/pub
';
my $yaml = YAML::Tiny->new();
$yaml = YAML::Tiny->read_string($stuff);
print $yaml->[0]->{Cluster2}->{dir}, "\n";
__END__
