JSON::Tiny::Subclassable is my fork of davido's JSON::Tiny to make it more easy to subclass usefully. In fact, I wrote it to usefully handle duplicate keys. But if in fact you want to throw an error for duplicates, it's not much extra effort...

use strict;
use warnings;

# A tied hash that dies if you try to insert a key that already exists
+.
{
    package Tie::Hash::NoOverwrite;
    use Tie::Hash ();
    use Carp;
    use parent -norequire, qw(Tie::StdHash);
    sub STORE {
        my ($hash, $key, $value) = @_;
        # Ignore these packages for the purpose of reporting errors
        local our @CARP_NOT = qw(
            JSON::MultiValueDie
            JSON::Tiny::Subclassable
        );
        croak "Duplicate key: $key" if exists $hash->{$key};
        $hash->{$key} = $value;
    }
}

# A JSON decoder that ties all hashes with Tie::Hash::NoOverwrite.
{
    package JSON::MultiValueDie;
    use parent qw(JSON::Tiny::Subclassable);
    sub _new_hash { tie my %h, 'Tie::Hash::NoOverwrite'; return \%h }
}

my $json = JSON::MultiValueDie->new;

$json->decode(q/  { "a":1, "b":2 }  /);
print $json->error || 'ok', "\n";

$json->decode(q/  { "a":1, "a":2 }  /);
print $json->error || 'ok', "\n";
