How could I pass output of to_json() from nxlog.conf to perl file?

Hi, I have this type of input in nxlog.conf:
```
Module im_udp
Host 0.0.0.0
Port 514
Exec parse_syslog(); to_json(); perl_call("process");
```
My question is, how should I include that JSON output that I get from to_json() to my perl code? Should I write like this?:
```
my ( $event ) = @_;
```
Or it's only the output of parse_syslog_bsd() (as in example for xm_perl https://nxlog.co/documentation/nxlog-user-guide/xm_perl.html)? **More generally, my question is how to include JSON output that i get from to_json() to perl code of xm_perl module?**

to_json() puts the result in the $raw_event field. You can access that from perl via the following:
my ( $event ) = @_;
my $json = Log::Nxlog::get_field($event, 'raw_event');
