Have your Perl program dump the output as JSON (use either JSON, JSON::MaybeXS, JSON::Tiny, or JSON::PP - the last of which comes out of the box with recent versions of Perl) either to STDOUT or to a temporary file. Then get your C# program to read the JSON and parse it. (There are several JSON libraries for C# listed on json.org.) `use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name`	[reply]

OK, When I try to run this: `my $JSON = JSON->new->utf8; $JSON->convert_blessed(1); $JSON->allow_blessed(1); $JSON->pretty(1); my $json = $JSON->encode(\%arr_hash); print "JSON [\n $json\n ]\n";` [download] I only get the root level data and the rest are null! `JSON [ { "ace_context" : [ null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null ], "server_nmap" : [ null, null, ... null ] }` [download] Same thing happends when I try this: `my $json = $JSON->encode(\@ace_context);` [download] BUT when I run this: `print Dumper(\%arr_hash);` [download] the output contains everything. How the JSON code should look like in order to "export" everything to JSON-format data?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

What is this "everything" that appears in the Data::Dumper output? Is it stuff that would be nonsensical in JSON output? (e.g. coderefs, pointers to open file handles, etc) `use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name`	[reply]

This is the hash `my %arr_hash = ( fw_fw => \@fw_fw, nexus_vrf => \@nexus_vrf, nexus_vlan => \@nexus_vlan, nexus_portchannel => \@nexus_portchannel, ace_context => \@ace_context, ace_interface => \@ace_interface, ace_rserver => \@ace_rserver, ace_serverfarm => \@ace_serverfarm, asa_interface => \@asa_interface, asa_route => \@asa_route, server_nmap => \@server_nmap, server_ucmdb => \@server_ucmdb );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

The easiest way would be to print the hash as a JSON structure and then to read that structure from C#.	[reply]
