How do I work with REST APIs in Perl

Working with REST APIs in Perl can be efficiently accomplished using various modules. One of the most popular modules for making HTTP requests is LWP::UserAgent. Below is a simple example of how to interact with a REST API using this module.

use strict; use warnings; use LWP::UserAgent; use JSON; my $url = "https://api.example.com/data"; # Replace with your API endpoint my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; my $response = $ua->get($url); if ($response->is_success) { my $data = decode_json($response->decoded_content); print "Response Data: ", $data; } else { die $response->status_line; }
