Any thoughts on the Malformed JSON error at the bottom?

    You are passing something which is not a JSON string to JSON's decode method. In particular, I believe you're passing a hashref.

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

        and it validated.

        Do you? When I tried, it highlighted for two errors.

        If you see document of JSON, you will find "relaxed" option. How it goes with relaxed option?

        And Data::Dumper is useful for checking some values. 

        use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper $data;

        This prints the content of $data. I hope it helps you debugging.
