I understand that. There is a module on CPAN called Pg::hstore that
will do this; it appears to have been around since 2011. I don't use
Perl, so I don't know a lot about it. Perhaps David Wheeler has an
opinion on the value of Perl-like syntax, as a long time Perl
enthusiast?
In any case, Perl has excellent support for JSON, just like every
other language - you are at no particular advantage in Perl by having
a format that happens to more closely resemble the format of Perl
hashes and arrays. I really feel that we should concentrate our
efforts on one standardized format here. It makes the effort to
integrate your good work, in a way that makes it available to everyone
so much easier.
