in reply to Build JSON With Perl

Actually, that's not the hash reference itself that you're seeing. It's the third element of the hash, which was created by the empty curly braces. Change:

my %hash = {};

to:

my %hash;

and it should work the way you're looking for.

    Using strict and warnings would have shown that:

    Reference found where even-sized list expected at -e line 1.

    Good catch though, I missed it in converting the example to a one-liner
