[dancer-users] ajax plugin, serialize a 1D perl array to JSON

[Rik Brown]

{ @sendArray } won't do what you want because you're putting the array inside a hash reference. 

You either want to put it inside an array ref, or reference it, e.g.

[
  @sendArray
]

or just \@sendArray.

Of course you could also do:

{ 
  results => \@sendArray
}

if you want your output to be a hash at the top level.

Hope this helps!
