tybalt89, you are one of the most unorthodox Perl hackers I've seen so far and I mean it as a compliment. :)

UPDATE

WOW, this even allows interpolating variables from the function scope in the "outside" HERE-DOC ...

use strict;
use warnings;

print "-------\n";
print json_here(42,666);
print "-------\n";


sub chompit {
    my $str = shift;
    chomp $str;
    return $str;
}


sub json_here { my $x=shift; chompit << "__JSON__" }
      "Type": 0,
      "Width": 504,
      "X": $x,
      "Y": $_[0]
    }
  ]
}
__JSON__
