In my code I have this exmaple 
my $RecType=uc($q->param('SearchRecType'));
my $RecSubType=uc($q->param('SearchRecSubType'));
my $SQL = "SELECT OBJ_ID,TITLE FROM OBJTBL";

$sth = $dbh->prepare($SQL);
$sth->execute() or die "Can't execute Statement: $dbh->DBI::errstr";

my @rows;
while ( my $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref  ) {
    push @rows, $row;
}

print $q->header( 'application/json' );
print encode_json( { results => \@rows } );

The JSON printed is like 
{"results":[{"TITLE":"Title 1"OBJ_ID":"1"},{"TITLE":"Title 2","OBJ_ID"
+:"2"}]}

I'm using typeahead.js whcih does not expect the reslts: part. I can't figure out how to return the JSON one level down, without it all being a child of "results".
