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.
