    The Dump of @records is:

      unlikely, maybe a dump of \@records ?

      In any case it looks like you got the nesting levels wrong, please try

       my @records = $decoded_json[0][0];

      or

       my @records = $decoded_json[0][0][0];

        Dereferencing did the trick! Thank you

        right, Dump was of \@records.

        Both your fixes return the following errors:

        Can't use string ("Sciences | ") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at test.pl line 24.

        By the way, the code snippet runs without the need of any credentials, if this may help.
