the documentation gives a sly hint with

but the change may well be in underlying *utf8*::decode not in JSON code
or further afield.
Since an argument is normally in a list context, i'm unclear why *some_*
*function(slurp($file))* ever gave scalar slurp instead of list slurp.
Unless they deleted a decode($) prototype trying to modernize, or an
internals bug was fixed?
