(Perl) Validate JWS Using HMAC SHA-256

Validates a JSON Web Signature (JWS) using HMAC SHA-256.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# This example takes a JSON signature in compact serialization format,
# and uses a MAC key to validate and recover the protected header and payload.

# Set the HMAC key:

# Recover the original content:

# Output:
