nysus:

OK, I was going on under the working assumption that you were creating JSON stuff that would be used that your JavaScript stuff would fetch from the server and use. It seems like you're actually generating JavaScript in your perl code to send off to the browser and execute. That's fine, of course, but it certainly complicates things a bit. Now you can't easily use JSON to build your data structures and handle the quoting for you because you've also got some plain JavaScript that you don't want to mangle.

I've not worked in that space yet, so you may want to browse CPAN for other modules that might be useful. A perfunctory look gave up JavaScript::Code and JavaScript::Writer, perhaps one of those might be more in line with what you need.
