1. One of the reasons why you do not find anything about PerlScript used in the browser is ... that people do not do that often enough. You simply can't do this in any other case than if all your users are running Windows and have Perl installed. Maybe some intranets are elligible, I don't really know. I might do something like this soonish in a HTA, but for web client-side stuff JavaScript has to be good enough.
  2. The second reason is IMHO that there is not much to document. Perl is Perl and browser object model is browser object model. Sure Netscape and MS has all their docs in J(ava)Script, but converting that to Perl syntax is not that a big deal. If you want to control a program using OLE/COM you usualy need to convert the description and examples from VB and thats a bigger difference.
