in reply to Json epoch datetime with perl

JSON doesn't have a Date type, so you're not dealing with JSON format, so you don't want JSON module, you want something else, :)

    Agreed. It is just that I am treating that "\/Date(<epoch>)\/" as a basic string enclosed in double quotes. My problem is with those single backslashes getting replaces by double backslashes.

      Um no. In the OP you have double backslashes; you start with double backslashes; 

      use JSON qw/ to_json /;
my @fudge = "\/Date(<epoch>)\/";
print to_json( \@fudge );
__END__
["/Date(<epoch>)/"]
