Mixing Perl and Javascript

[jinkas]

I'm working on developing a new available software page for my university's College of Engineering web site. To see the old version, go to http://www.cae.wisc.edu/software/index.php The test version that I'm working on, which is more dynamic, is located at http://www.cae.wisc.edu/~joneill/test/test7.php Originally myself and the other fellow on the project were going to use PHP to read the information from the database, but now we have decided to use Perl. Is it possible to read from a database using Perl, manipulate those variables read, and pass that along to the javascript located at http://www.cae.wisc.edu/~joneill/test/js/navscript.js ? For now I have hard-coded the 10 examples that are there, but this will be reading from a database with over 190 software programs. Specific data for each program needs to be passed to four different arrays in the javascript. Is it possible to do this? Thanks!
