Import multiple URLs to Pocket (or Instapaper)

Question

I'm trying to import all my old starred items from Google Reader into Pocket. I have the JSON file and I've used grep to convert that to a simple text file listing all the URLs (thanks to PaulProgrammer here: Regex to extract all Starred Items URLs from Google Reader JSON file).

The problem now is - how do I get that into Pocket (or Instapaper)?

Does anyone have any ideas to do any of the below?

1. Import directly from the Google Reader JSON (this was the first thing I searched for and came up with several flawed partial solutions)

2. You can add URLs by e-mail, but only one at a time. Maybe I can batch up a couple thousand e-mails through GMail somehow?

3. Any other ideas?

Here's a sample of my URL text file:

http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2013-05-24/

You can use the add action from the Pocket API to add many links at once.

Sending an encoded JSON array like this should work:

[
    {
        "action" : "add",
        "url" : "http://cheezburger.com/51746049"
    },
    {
        "action" : "add",
        "url" : "http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2013-05-24/"
    }
    // truncated for brevity
]
