in thread Perl json parser and JSONP issue

Thank you. Your help is most appreciated. It was enough :) I`ve understand it. However it`s kind of confusing to me that JSONP stuff... By the way... can`t I just have a js file with a plain

var Obj = { foo: function() {return me;}, data: "str", id: 0x8888 };

can`t tell what`s the big fuss of JSON.

    "By the way... can`t I just have a js file"

    You can.

    "can`t tell what`s the big fuss of JSON."

    If you serve your data as a Javascript file, it can only be read by Javascript. If you serve it as JSON, it can be read by any language which has a JSON module available. (Which is pretty much all of them.)

    perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

      Thanks again, it was clean explained and solved some puzzles in my head. As for the perl`s strange json parsing, maybe I have to read more perl. But no problem at all... Thank you again for the good examples and explanation.
