I have a SVG doc in the order of 100Ks. This doc contains a map divided into about 100 sectors, and I shade each of these sectors to represent a certain statistic. To do this shading I decided to create a javascript array - as I could then use some javascript to set the colors at run time instead of hard coding all the colors using the styling tags. The reason I did this was because I thought it would be easier from a perl perspective. Now when I wish to present a statistic to the client, I can open up my server side generic svg doc, fill in the array with the desired colors, and spit the result to the client. Does that sound daft?
Anyway I've placed this empty array (colors1) near the start of my svg doc - looking something like this -
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no" ?>

var colors1 = [];

So how should I go about filling this array using perl, and then send it to the client? Sorry for not presenting any perl - I have the color values stored in a @colorArray, after that I'm not sure how to tackle the problem, thanks.
