Is there any benefit to using s///g over tr///, in this context?

I figured that tr/// would be less "expensive" since it's designed to only do character matching.

    Since you brought it up, 'sed' style matching is too heavy. All you want to do is detect the situation of multiple responses. 

    if ($payload =~ /+/) {
  # process as list
}
