  • This works fine on sample data, but with the actual data, I get Can't use string ("d6udq15687339893700") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use. I think I must not be understanding the dereference operator (->) because I see similar examples that look like print "$json->{v2rbz1568}{username}\n"; How can I determine what is causing my error?

  • Thank you the "%$json" trick was super useful, it works on my side even if I don't understand the behavior clearly, why can't use directly the "%json". Commented Nov 17, 2022 at 7:08
