and it validated.

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

+ot_90x90.jpg", <==here and   
+s/Retail/Superstore/Online/Product/pos/save.png", <==here

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;

Thank you for trying to help. I think it does not validate because you have copied the + that the website put in. If you take them out it appears to work.

I have looked at relaxed, but I am having trouble with the syntax. Can you help. The variable holding the returned JSON is $code.

Thank you - James.

I guess tobyink's reply will help you.
How is your $code?
This works with my environment without warning, error.


#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use JSON;
use Data::Dumper;

my $json = JSON->new;
my $code=join('', (<DATA>));
print Dumper $code;
my $data = $json->decode($code);
