    Here is a more complete answer, in perl of course since I am a pathological extended rubbish lister fan.

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    # from file content

    use JSON;

    use Data::Dumper;

    open( my $fh, '<', 'json.data' );

    $json_text   = <$fh>;

    $perl_scalar = decode_json( $json_text );

    print Dumper $perl_scalar;
