Perl automatically converts from number to string and back.
When I try it, I get the following, which seems to be correct.
$VAR1 = {
'work_hours' => '4.1',
'work_hours_to_float_try1' => '4.10',
'work_hours_to_float_try2' => '4.1',
'work_hours_to_float_try3' => '5.2'
};
{"work_hours_to_float_try3":5.2,"work_hours_to_float_try1":"4.10","work_hours_to_float_try2":4.1,"work_hours":"4.1"}
