Of course! Thank you. So the data comes out formatted correctly that way, but then I try and do some manipulation with it and push it back into a hash. But it comes out improperly formatted and out of order. This is what I do 
%hashData = (
                id   => $total_cdr_count,
                col2 => $total_call_count,
                col3 => $total_error_count,
                col4 => $formatMin,
                col5 => $formatASR,
                col6 => $formatPDD,
                col7 => $formatDUR,
                col8 => $hold_max_date
        );
        push @output, %hashData;

And after encoding, it looks like this 
{"myData":["col7",null,"col5",null,"col3",0,"col8","2007-08-10 00:59:5
+8","col2",0,"id",3951,"col4",null
,"col6",null,"col7",null,"col5",null,"col3",0,"col8","2007-08-10 00:59
+:58","col2",0,"id",3961,"col4"
,null,"col6",null,"col7",null,"col5",null,"col3",0,"col8","2007-08-10 
+00:59:58","col2",0,"id"

the null is fine, I need to fix a few references, but it's out of order, and it looks like it is putting commas in places where a colon should be for json encoding? Also looks like it isn't putting the {} in between records. Here's an example of what it should look like coming out 
{"myData":[{"id":"08-10-2007.00","col2":null,"col3":"I","col4":"0","co
+l5":"3951","col6":null,"col7":"8028"

,"col8":"0"},......
