Is there a way to convert a JavaScript variable into Perl?  In other words,
you have a JavaScript function:
function test(input_to_function) {
$perlvariable = input_to_function;
print "alert('$perlvariable'); #get an alert box showing the value
print "$perlvariable\n"; #variable prints on page
}
I've tried dozens of syntax variations on this without success.  Then, I've
gone looking at various perl modules which sound like they might work
(Data::Javascript, Javascript-0.52, WDDX), but I can't make heads or tails
of the documentation.  It seems like I'm missing some simple point.
Forinstance, this works inside the JavaScript tags:

print "document.textfieldname.value = '$perlvariable'\n"; #puts value in
text box

But the reverse doesn't work:

print "'$perlvariable' = document.textfieldname.value\n"; #doesn't work

Any insights appreciated.
