Just use to_json() to go from perl to json, and from_json() to go from json to perl. Here's an example:
use strict;
use JSON;
use Data::Dumper;
# Here's some data
my $data = {
A => 1,
B => "hello world",
D => [
[
'dog',
'cat',
'bird',
],
[ 'red','green','blue'],
],
D => {
X => 1,
Y => 2,
}
};
# print the data
print Dumper($data), "\n";
# convert perl data to json, then print out the json
my $json = to_json($data);
print "$json\n";
# convert the json back to perl, then print it.
# should be the same as before
my $data2 = from_json($json);
print Dumper($data2), "\n";

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
