To sing like Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam. People like Scott Stapp (Creed), Jason Wade (Lifehouse), Alex Band (The Calling), are known for having Vedder-like voices. Another person known for yarling would be Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver), but after he was trashed for yarling like Vedder, he gradually began to sing differently and now sounds nothing like Vedder.

Although it has been said that Eddie Vedder's yarling was taken from people such as Ray Charles and Bruce Springsteen, the similarity between Vedder, Charles, and Springsteen is nowhere near as close as Vedder, Stapp, Wade, and Band.
"God, Scott Stapp is such an unoriginal bastard. He yarls exactly like Eddie Vedder."

Typically, it's solely dependent on the situation it's used in.
Essentially, it has the same basic meaning as 'eh'; 'meh'.

The actual defenition is usually deemed as whatever the hell the author (speaker) feels compelled to make it mean.
Person A: "Dude, let's go see a movie"

Person B: "Yarl, I got shit to do.."

Yarl's Wood 

Detention centre where private companies systematically rape vulnerable women with impunity. Protected by the British Home Office, which refuses Freedom of Information requests about the numbers of rape incidents on the basis that publishing the information would commercially harm the companies involved.
I hear Serco and G4S are raping like madmen at Yarl's Wood, but the government won't release the figures.

Gita: Sonia was Yarl's Wood last night.
Janine: What, you mean RAPED?
Gita: Uhuh.

Yarlin is the most beautiful person you will ever meet. She is the beauty in the sunset or sunrise that people stop to appreciate. Without her I am nothing. I never knew what love was until I met Yarlin. When we make eye contact I get lost in her eyes. The bright brown eyes she has leave me speechless and I cant stop staring. She smiles and can see the love I have for her. I care about her safety and feelings more than I care about mine. Thank you Yarlin for being in my life. I LOVE YOU
Ps. Sheโ€™s a super duper nerd ๐Ÿค“
Wow you see that cutie?

-yeah bro thats Yarlin, sheโ€™s so hot.
