how can i run json_decode on a string and if its bad json, then simply continue without barfing or throwing errors

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
i am doing<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; %freeb = &nbsp;%{$json-&gt;decode($fr_blob)}<wbr />;<br />
<br />
and it is throwing warnings/messages like <br />
<br />
unexpected end of string while parsing JSON string<br />
<br />
for some rows ...as it reads the data in a huge file line by line...<br />
<br />
in perl can i do something that checks if the string is valid json and not process it if its invalid?<br />
i want to eliminate these messages

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
