Dear Monks,

I've started playing with this module. I use this simple code to get sentence examples of a given word (waste in my example). What I am fighting against is the output format... which is more or less a word salat, wihtout any further processing:

use WWW::Wordnik::API; my %args = ( server_uri => 'http://api.wordnik.com/v4', api_key => 'my API key', version => '4', format => 'json', # json | xml | perl ); my $WN = WWW::Wordnik::API->new(%args); my $content = $WN->examples('waste'); print $content;

The result is:

$VAR1 = '{"examples":[{"year":1891,"provider":{"name":"wordnik","id":7 +11},"url":"http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/6/3/3/26330/26330-8.txt"," +word":"waste","text":"We have the total waste of $225,496,741 and thi +s, reduced to its actual significance, means that of the total actual + terminations, 83.6 per cent. was _actual waste_ and only 16.4 per ce +nt. legitimate terminations, while the great bulk of the last item of +","title":"Frenzied Finance Vol. 1: The Crime of Amalgamated","docume +ntId":18081426,"exampleId":1090100953,"rating":8923.145},{"year":2009 +,"provider":{"name":"wordnik","id":711},"url":"http://notasheepmaybea +goat.blogspot.com/2009/02/g.html","word":"waste","text":"Do you think + that over a £billion a year in waste is a good thing in this system? +","title":"Gordon Brown and the suspension of normal politics","docum +entId":30226278,"exampleId":838783173,"rating":764.0},{"year":2006,"p +rovider":{"name":"wordnik","id":711},"url":"http://scientificactivist +.blogspot.com/2006/04/no-more-aspirin-please.html","word":"waste","te +xt":"OK, if 13% admin waste is not enough to establish my point, then + say 40%.","title":"No More Aspirin, Please","documentId":30350472,"e +xampleId":886062454,"rating":760.0},{"year":2011,"provider":{"name":" +spinner","id":712},"url":"http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/facts-a +nd-arguments/the-essay/i-salvage-goods-from-the-curb-on-trash-day/art +icle2149147/?utm_medium=Feeds%3A%20RSS%2FAtom&utm_source=Home&utm_con +tent=2149147","word":"waste","text":"Growing up, the expression \\"wa +ste not, want not\\" was branded into my brain.","title":"The Globe a +nd Mail - Home RSS feed","documentId":32783691,"exampleId":645279785, +"rating":749.0},{"year":2011,"provider":{"name":"huffingtonpost","id" +:715},"url":"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/02/2012-elections- +gop-agenda_n_803311.html","word":"waste","text":"Issa, the incoming c +hairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has b +een especially critical of what he calls waste in Obama\'s economic s +timulus spending.","title":"2012 Elections Could Be Greatly Impacted +By New GOP Agenda","documentId":31276093,"exampleId":186827020,"ratin +g":604.0}]}';

What I should do to get only the examples any all other stuff (year, links, etc.)? Any advice would be appreciated.
