WebService::YQL "Couldn't find a decoder method"

[chuntuk]

I have some established perl code that uses WebService::YQL to access web services, it's been working fine for years. But for the last few days any script using that module has crashed out with this error:

Couldn't find a decoder method. at /home/redacted/perl/usr/share/perl5/WebService/YQL.pm line 9.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/redacted/perl/usr/share/perl5/WebService/YQL.pm line 9.

I get the error even with a test script like this:

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

use WebService::YQL;

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";

print "Hello World\n";

Line 9 of YQL.pm is "use JSON::Any;", which is deprecated, but I don't see what I can do about that. Could anyone help me figure out what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks.

JSON::Any is a front end for one of many JSON decoders, but you don't have any of them installed. Just install one of them (e.g Cpanel::JSON::XS, JSON::XS, JSON::PP).

Thanks, but I have both JSON::XS and JSON::PP installed (I can't install Cpanel::JSON:XS as it requires a C compiler, which I don't have at my host). I've used CPAN to ensure I have the latest versions of the modules concerned. I still get the error.

What version of JSON::Any do you have ? See this 2013 bug report https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=89853


The newly released version 3.0/3.01 of JSON::XS is not compatible with JSON::Any 1.30. After upgrading JSON::XS, trying to import JSON::Any results in: Couldn't find a decoder method.
