Re^2: write_file to_json in Dancer app

aha, yes, thanks. That does work.
The file is updated if I refresh the browser. Well, with not much I'll have to admit but at least the modification time changes.
So, I'm not there with the format but I should be able to work that out.
Thanks!

updating the code between the comment lines to the code I mention below makes that the data is been written to a 'json' file. Not very clever code yet as the data gets overwritten every time you run the script but that is a separate issue. `#-------v this does work --------# my $filename = "testme.json"; my $json = -e $filename ? read_file $filename : '{}'; my $data = from_json $json; $data = \@photos; write_file $filename, to_json($data);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
