Re: Outputting JSON with function () {...} values

Seems like I misunderstood the direction of your process.

you want to create "pseudo" JSON from Perl with a JSON library.

There is a possibility to allow Perl objects to return a scalar, but I doubt it's possible to be js code instead of a string.

I see 3 possibilities:

change your representation to legal JSON
regex valid JSON to strip the quotes from strings starting with "function..."
do the same on the receiver side in JS by walking your data and eval'ing those strings.

Yes that's correct. Regexp'ing afterwords was where I thought I'd end up and this has confirmed it. I can't change to "legal JSON" as the output if for a JS plugin and I don't want to start hacking at that and break future upgrades.	[reply]

It's not trivial if the code contains double quotes and you do it on the Perl side. Post processing in JS should be easier. > and this has confirmed it. Please don't consider my opinion as the only possible.
