embed jquery in perl

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,

Is this possible? I want to simply load a page from my company's intranet, pull out all checkboxes that are checked , and somehow put it in a perl structure for further processing. This would be like 1 or 2 lines in Jquery. Unfortunately, my company determines which perl modules (from cpan) to include in their library and HTML::Jquery and pQuery are not among them. If it's not possible to embed the code directly, I guess can figure out how to do this with a perl Html parsing module <sigh>.

Thank you for your time.

Best Regards, Michael

Why do you need HTML::JQuery? Why don't you just include jQuery.js in your client side code, and pass whatever you want to your server side code? You don't mention what your server side code uses CGI, Dancer... How do I post a question effectively? Update: fixed typo in first sentence. Thanks MidLifeXis.	[reply]

Apologies for forgetting to mention that... It's simply a perl console script (no CGI involved etc) which will download the html. I want to use jquery simply to parse the html	[reply]

I see. How do you fetch the HTML? Does JavaScript populate the values of these checkboxes? Do you have some example HTML you could post? Update: If possible it may help if you posted the perl code you currently have.	[reply]
