I currently have the following code which captures the number of followers for a particular Twitter account, and prints it to a webpage:
<html>
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.m
+in.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var twitterusername = 'ESPN';
$.getJSON('http://twitter.com/users/' + twitterusername + '.json?c
+allback=?', function(data) {
$('#followers').html(data.followers_count);
document.write(twitterusername, "# of Followers: ", data.follo
+wers_count);
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id='followers'></div>
</body>
</html>
How can I take the number of followers, and store it into a Perl variable?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
