Perl with Json

you

Hi there,

File manupulation is difficult in Perl.
I'd like to modify a file with JSON format.
For example, test.conf is:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 {

     "tests" : [

          "test1",

          "test2",

          "temp1"

     ],

     ... (and so on)

}

And, I'd like to add or delete an item to or from "tests" field.
So I wrote a Perl program:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 #!/usr/bin/perl
 
use JSON
 
open TEST, ">test.conf"

#  I have no idea how to get the json data from test.conf to this perl program.

# Also, I have no idea how to add or delete an item (e.g. "temp2") to or from "tests" field.

# And, I'd like to write the modified filed to test.conf file.

Help please!

Thanks in advance.

Considering that Perl's bread and butter is text (that's what Larry Wall designed it to be used on), I would think it would be easier here than elsewhere.

Also, JSON is a "Java Script Object Notation" module. Isn't it a feature of javascript that it isn't able to access the filesystem? (correct me if I am wrong) If that's the case, would that limitation apply?

Back to the issue, why not present the data in the file, tell us what you are trying to do and show us the code you are trying to modify it with so we can help you.

Config::JSON may be do what you want.
