I have a nice jQuery based layout that I want to use. I have been mostly working in a apache/mason/perl environment so I am very familiar with that. So my question is would I be able to incorporate jQuery into that?

I am thinking that the basic code for what I need to do is in jQuery, so why rewrite it since it is nice and works. I would like to add some perl to it though.

I was thinking something like: 

...
<script type=text/javascript>
...
$('#dialog').dialog({
    autoOpen: false,
    width: 600,
    buttons: {"Ok": function() {
        <%perl>
            insert my perl code here as needed.
        <%/perl>
        },
        "Cancel": function() {
        <%perl>
            insert my perl code here as needed.
        <%/perl>
        }
    }
});
...
</script>
...

Or maybe there is a way better way to do this that I am just not considereing because I am a newb? :)
