this is NOT a javascript question. i tried asking this question on the chatterbox, but i don't think i'm asking it right. the question is: i want my perl script to print out javascript, just like it would print out html. i've been told it's possible. i've tried using <<'HERE'; but i got a blank screen (and no error messages). Do I need to escape everything, or is this impossible in the first place? I've looked around for examples, but can't find any. Can anyone point me in the right direction? 


#!c:/Perl/bin/Perl  -wT
use strict;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
print header;
print "can you hear me";  #this does print, nothing else does
print "<html>";
print "<head>";
my $javascript = <<'TOAD';
<style>
<!--
all.clsMenuItemNS{font: bold x-small Verdana; color: white; text-decor
+ation: none;}
.clsMenuItemIE{text-decoration: none; font: bold xx-small Verdana; col
+or: white; cursor: hand;}
A:hover {color: red;}
-->
</style>
TOAD

print "</head>";

my $javanext = <<'FROG';
<script language="JavaScript" src="/menu.js">
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="/menucontext.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript">
showToolbar();
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
function UpdateIt(){
if (document.all){
document.all["MainTable"].style.top = document.body.scrollTop;
setTimeout("UpdateIt()", 200);
}
}
UpdateIt();
</script>

print "</HTML>";
