The problem is you're thinking in Perl. Forget Perl. You need to think in
HTML and JavaScript. You're trying to debug both sides at once and that's
not easy.
Instead, isolate the two problems. Load your page in the browser and do a
View Source to get the HTML code. Save that to a .html file. It should load
in your browser just like the one generated from Perl. Tweak the
HTML/JavaScript code and get it working.
Then, go back to your Perl code and figure out how to generate the HTML and
JavaScript that you've updated. It should be a much easier task once you
know what the working target is.
