If JSON::PP is in core, why avoid it and suggest code with a caveat that it shouldn't be used due to badness?

Update Correct JSON to JSON::PP - thanks Haarg

Only "Older perl, missing core JSON " is a real justification, and then only of the OP provides a good reason for not being able to use a newer Perl. Part of our job, as I see it anyway, is to help people overcome scared/ignorant and encourage the right kind of laziness. Anything else just looks like XP whoring. :-D Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond	[reply]
