Hi, getting this error while decoding the josn object via post method. surprosingly it works fine when GET method is used. client code: 

use Data::Dumper;
use JSON;
use URI::Escape;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTTP::Response;
use LWP::UserAgent;

my $rest_url = "some url";
my $inData = 
{ "name" => "test", 
  "id"   => "test",  
  "test" => [1,2,3,4]
};
my $json     = JSON->new->utf8->allow_nonref;
my $jsonData = $json->encode($inData);
my $apiCmd = "/projectname/restfulapi?inputdata=$jsonData";

my $iua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
#my $response  = $iua->request(GET $rest_url.$apiCmd);
my $response   = $iua->request(POST $rest_url.$apiCmd);
if ($response->is_success) {

    #print Dumper($response->content());
    my $perlData = $json->decode($response->content());
    print Dumper($perlData);
}
else{
    print " inside falied block\n";
}

api code: 
    use strict;
    use Readonly;
    use CGI;
    use Data::Dumper;
    use JSON;
 
    #use cgi.pm to get json as input
    my $q = CGI->new;
    my $jsonText = $q->param('inputdata');

    my $json  = JSON->new->utf8->allow_nonref(1);
    my $outputDataRef = $json->decode($jsonText);
   
    print qq{Content-type: application/json; charset=utf8\n\n};
   
    my $outputData = $json->encode($outputDataRef);
    
    print $outputData;

It fails at api side while decoding. error details: malformed JSON string, neither array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before "(end of string)")
Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
