in thread Perl CGI w/ Javascript

Here's the rub - If you move to HTML::Template, the Javascript is now in a text file. More importantly, it's in a text file you can test without the use of Perl. So, you can get your Javascript right, THEN add in the Perl code.

What I mean is that you build your HTML file and get it right with mocked up data. Then, you replace the mocked up piece with data from your script. But, by that point, you will know the Javascript is correct, so you don't have worry about it.
