Dear Monks

I admit I am quite bad at parsing data. I want to read some information out of json data. Someway I am not getting the information I want. The data is the following.

{
  "head": {},
  "def": [
    {
      "text": "time",
      "pos": "noun",
      "ts": "taɪm",
      "tr": [
        {
          "text": "tempo",
          "pos": "noun",
          "gen": "m",
          "syn": [
            {
              "text": "volta",
              "pos": "noun",
              "gen": "f"
            },
            {
              "text": "momento",
              "pos": "noun",
              "gen": "m"
            },
            {
              "text": "Time",
              "pos": "noun",
              "gen": "m"
            }
          ],
          "mean": [
            {
              "text": "day"
            },
            {
              "text": "moment"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

First of all, I would like to read "text": "tempo" (i.e. tempo). Furthermore I would like to read also a the other values of "text" inside "syn", being the number of "text" element variable

I am using the following:

my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $uri);
my $res = $ua->request($req);
        
if ($res->is_success) {
  my $json_text= $res->content;    
  my $decoded_json = decode_json( $json_text );
  my $result = $decoded_json->{'def'}{'tr'}{'text'};#Here I was suppos
+ing to get the first "text" value = tempo
    }

Unfortunately it fails, as I am evidently interpreting badly the data structure (and a dumper did not help me a lot). Any suggestions?
