Hello, I want to get the postcode, I was able to get the postcode using the code below. The order of the postal code changes when the street address changes. Another information comes in place of the postal code.

$postalcode = $json->{'results'}[0]->{'address_components'}[6]->{'short_name'};

I couldn't solve the problem. {'address_components'}[6] Number is constantly changing 6, 5, 4
