Just a quick question, how can I "convert" a JSON string to a hash so I can reference it as $hashname{keyname} instead of having to use $hashname->{keyname} for consistancy in my program? I use "map" to split the query string:
sub QueryData {
    $QD_In = $_[0];
    @QD_Pair = split('&',$QD_In);
    %QD_Out = map{split('=',$_,2)} @QD_Pair;
    return (%QD_Out);
    }

I'm thinking there is a way using "map" to fix the JSON string, but I can't find any references to that affect on the internet. I'm going to continue searching here in hopes that someone knows an answer. Thanx again, you guys are always a bunch of help...

I tried re-inventing the wheel again, but everytime I push it, it still falls flat on it's side...
