According to JSON, JSON::decode_json expects raw octets. Also, it returns already UTF-8 decoded content, so your additional decode step should not be necessary.

Have you looked at the octets you download and have you verified that your problem is not in the further treatment or output of the data?

Personally, I find it helpful to look at hexdumps of the octets to verify that the proper data is written to the console.

I see that nowhere in the example code you binmode STDOUT, <c>':encoding(UTF-8)', maybe that would be a good step?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
