Subject:	JSON::Converter treats strings that look like numbers as numbers.

To:	bug-json [...] rt.cpan.org
From:	Rocco Caputo <rcaputo [...] pobox.com>

From the attached test case: # JSON::Converter is treating strings that look like numbers as # numbers. For example, the string "08" looks like an invalid octal # number. JSON::Parser is treating them as numbers and is rightfully # blowing up on invalid characters such as "8" and "." in octal # values. -- Rocco Caputo - rcaputo@cpan.org

Bug confirmed here; this bug bit us too. A string that looks like '008541' is treated like octal, even if it is then an invalid number, and make the whole request fail (but without an explicit error message for us).
