Hello monks

I am trying to parse the response of a googleapis API. This is a json answer with an array of arrays structure. What am I doing wrong in this script? Why am I not able to iterate over @records? I am probably missing something very fundamental here...

use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; use LWP::UserAgent; use JSON::PP; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new( ); $ua->agent("Mozilla"); my $segment = "Science | Research | Artificial Intelligence"; my $url='https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single?client=gt +x&sl=en&tl=fr&dt=t&q=' . $segment; my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url); my $res = $ua->request($req); if ($res->is_success) { my $json_text= $res->content; my $decoded_json = decode_json( $json_text ); my @decoded_json=@$decoded_json; my @records = $decoded_json[0]; foreach my $record(@records){ print Dumper $record; print "Translation for @$record[1] is @$record[0]\n"; } } else { print "\nError connecting to server\n"; }
