To add to gellyfish's comment if you had strict and warnings on you would have been alerted to a stray 'i' (see the comment below). There were other quoting issues too (also commented). I've taken the liberty of adding some white space. I don't know if it will now do what you want but at least it compiles which imo is a good start. :-)

#!/bin/perl5

use strict;
use warnings;

my $JSCRIPT=<<END;   # added my
var cal = new CalendarPopup("testdiv");
cal.setCssPrefix("TEST");
cal.showYearNavigation();
END

my $JSCRIPT2=<<END2; # added my
writeSource("jscal1");
END2

print start_html(

  -style=>{
    -src=>[
      '/styles/print.css','/styles/yreg_lite_v5.css'
    ],
    -media => 'all'
   },
   
   -title=>'MIS - People Data', 
   
   -script=>[
      {
        -language => 'JavaScript',
        #-src =>  i  '/javascript/ValidateForm.js'
        -src => '/javascript/ValidateForm.js' # removed the i
      },
