data is HASH(0x55fbf8768858)

You are receiving a JSON string from the remote server with your script (great!), that's stored in $response->decoded_content. Then you correctly convert that string, using decode_json(), into a perl data structure and store it in variable $data, in this case, of type HASH. You can use this data structure ($data) as usual, e.g. my $text1 = $data->{'translations'}->[0]->{'text'}. The data structure is this, for my case:

{
  'translations' => [
    {
      'text' => 'vencino hola',
      'detected_source_language' => 'ES'
    }
  ]
};

If your question is how to print this data structure ($data) and get something meaningful instead of data is HASH(0x55fbf8768858), then there are lots of choices, I know of 2: Data::Dumper's Dumper() and Data::Roundtrip's perl2dump()*, which you mentioned already. Pick your poison.

Of course you can write your own "data dumper", and that would be a nice climb up Recursion Peak and the Monastery is right behind you.

Note that you have included an auth-key in your SCSE. You don't want that. *They* have now linked your CC, your translations and your monk handle and thus your comments. Brrrr (but hey the danger is not with "They" but with evil dictators outside Western Democracies /sic/ /sarcasm-off)

Edit: *) Data::Roundtrip depends on Data::Dumper, so it would be simpler to use the latter, the former offers data converters and an easy way to "not-bloody-escape-unicode" which the latter does incessantly, to my eyeballs' irritation.
