dear forum members,

my query must be a silly, but I have been finding hard to undestand json. Apart from knowing it is a key value pair, I cannot undertand much. How to initiate it. How to loop over it. How to print it without using print Dumper. Is it a hash or is it reference?

example: 
my $son = '{        
}';
my $r=decode_json($son);#cannot understand why I need to do


$r->{"trans2"}[0]="90";
$r->{"trans2"}[1]="20";
print "\n\n";

#print Dumper \$r; # without dumper, how can I iterate using for loop?

print $r->{"trans2"}[0],"\n"; #hard coded
print $r->{"trans2"}[1],"\n"; #hard coded

Above, I want 2 values in trans1 key.

How do I iterate over keys in json object?

Sorry, I have posted this in wrong forum. Admins, pleae move this thread to respective forum
