https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25774 David Cook <dcook@prosentient.com.au> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |dcook@prosentient.com.au --- Comment #3 from David Cook <dcook@prosentient.com.au> --- I don't think that this is the most elegant/maintainable solution. If you change "decode_json" to "from_json", you shouldn't need to use encode_utf8, since decode_json expects bytes and from_json expects a string. By using encode_utf8, you're taking a string and turning it into bytes, when you could just keep it as a string. The documentation for the JSON module is pretty terrible, but I've proved this this with the following three sample files: {"test":"❤"} #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use JSON; open(my $fh, '<', 'test.txt'); my $line = <$fh>; my $perl = decode_json($line); warn $perl->{test}; #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use JSON; open(my $fh, '<', 'test.txt'); my $line = <$fh>; my $perl = from_json($line); warn $perl->{test}; -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
