Right, i have ran Cody Pendant's algorithm and it works. My algorithm has similar data but it gives the same errors: 
 #!/usr/bin/perl
 use warnings;
 use strict;
 
 use DBIx::Simple;
 
 my $db = DBIx::Simple->connect('dbi:SQLite:dbname=mydatabase.db')
        or die DBIx::Simple->error;
 
 open (X_POINTS,"x_points.txt") || die "couldn't open the file!";
 open (Y_POINTS,"y_points.txt") || die "couldn't open the file!";
  
 # Insert all the x points in an array
 my @x_points = <X_POINTS>;
    
 # Insert all the y points in an array
 my @y_points = <Y_POINTS>;
  
 close(X_POINTS);
 close(Y_POINTS);
   
 print @x_points;
 print @y_points;
 
   
 my @webpages;
 my $webpage_no = 500;
  
 for (my $count=0; $count <= $webpage_no; $count++) {
      $webpages[$count] = $db->query("SELECT webpage FROM webpages_dat
+a WHERE id = '$count'")->list;
 }
 
 print @webpages;
 
 print q(<IMG SRC="figure.gif" USEMAP="#mymap">
 <MAP NAME="mymap"> )
 
 for (my $secondcount=0; $secondcount <= $webpage_no; $secondcount++) 
+{
     print qq(<AREA SHAPE=circle COORDS="$x_points[$secondcount],$y_po
+ints[$secondcount],1" HREF="$webpages[$secondcount]">);
 }
 print q(</MAP>);

This is the complete code. The print statements work for the coordinates and the webpages so that's fine. The errors are:

syntax error at image_map_gui.pl line 49, near "0;"

syntax error at image_map_gui.pl line 49, near "++) "

Execution of image_map_gui.pl aborted due to compilation errors. Can't really understand what's the problem here. If i comment out the JavaScript and the for loop bit it works fine but if i add those it gives the errors. Any ideas? thanks for your help
