in thread How to use a json string with nested array and nested hash elements?

Thanks for the code samples! It's exactly what I needed.

I'm looking at what aitap wrote and what you wrote and I see one difference:

aitap & 7Stud: my @jsonarray = @{$decoded_json->{strarray}};

Anonymous Monk: my $strarray = $decoded_json->{strarray};

I am surprised by the use of a $variable (string) instead of an @variable (array). I expected to need the same variable as aitap and 7Stud mentioned. I will need to restudy the variables and references, it's been nearly 6 years since I last wrote programs.

Thank all of you for the explanations and examples. You have been very helpful.
