Re^2: Escape $ in JSON::XS decoded

My apologies, I didn't catch that, but it explains part of the problem.

In the actual JSON file, it reads as follows:

      "updated":{
         "$t":"2019-07-19T20:04:56.046Z"

But when Perl and or JSON::XS is loading the JSON file, it seems to be reinterpreting the $t some how as the current time. I have not declared $t at all.

I knew what the answer was supposed to be in my head, and my brain just didn't connect that the DataDummper was putting the current time, as I was looking at the raw JSON.

This just baffles me even more. I'll keep digging.

I can't reproduce that either. It still returns the value stored in the original JSON, as expected. `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use JSON::XS; my $json = '{"feed":{"updated":{"$t":"2019-07-19T20:04:56.046Z"}}}'; my $decoded_json = decode_json($json); print $decoded_json->{feed}->{updated}->{'$t'}; # 2019-07-19T20:04:56 +.046Z` [download] `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

But when Perl and or JSON::XS is loading the JSON file, it seems to be reinterpreting the $t some how as the current time. Sorry, but almost certainly not. `use warnings; use strict; use Data::Dump; use JSON::XS; dd decode_json('{ "updated":{ "$t":"2019-07-19T20:04:56.046Z" } }') __END__ { updated => { "\$t" => "2019-07-19T20:04:56.046Z" } }` [download] Again, please provide a Short, Self-Contained, Correct Example that we can run that shows otherwise.
