one of the options: create a webpage that check the availability of the file
with some interval
<html>
<body onload = 'init()'>
<script lang = 'text/javascript'>

function init(){

setInterval(function(){
    get('numbers.json', function(r){
    
    if(r == 'error'){
        console.log('waiting for data');        
    }
    
    for(var i in r['num']){
    console.log(r['num'][i]['text'] + ': ' + r['num'][i]['value']);
    }
    })}, 5000);
    
    
}
    
function get(file, callback){
var xmlHttpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlHttpRequest.open('GET', '/' + file, true);
xmlHttpRequest.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-for
+m-urlencoded');
    
xmlHttpRequest.onreadystatechange = function (){
    if(xmlHttpRequest.status == 404){
        xmlHttpRequest.abort(); callback('error'); return;
    }
    if(xmlHttpRequest.status == 200 && xmlHttpRequest.readyState == 4)
    {
        callback(JSON.parse(xmlHttpRequest.responseText)); return;
    }
}
    xmlHttpRequest.send();
}    
</script>
</body>
</html>

then perl script which prepares json:
%a = qw/one 1 two 2 three 3 four 4 five 5/;
$l = keys %a;
open OUT,'>numbers.json' or die $!;
print OUT "{\"num\":[\n";
for(sort keys %a){
    print OUT '{"text":"'.$_.'", "value":"'.$a{$_}.'"}';
    --$l ? print OUT ",\n" : print OUT "\n";
}
print OUT "]}\n";
close OUT;

everything goes around and checks the file
if there is none, the thing is ok with it
once the file appears, it loads its innards
ugly ? yes,
working ? also yes
alrighty then
