The coverage is so close that I had some success parsing them using python json libs, but at the end I had to write my own grammar dictionary for them using python's parsley lib. I am aware its not perl, but if you'd like to see the code to get some idea about it - let me know. And if we could get these to be *just* standard json files, life would be so much easier for many of us... BL
