in reply to Diving Data without autovivification

Hi

Looking at the SO page, the OP did say

"it is the result of parsing JSON created by some other code that I have no control over. "

I was wondering whether he is over thinking it, and just using a JSON Perl module to search the original data file would be better, less fragile?
