BaldPenguin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Fellow Monks:
I have a device where JavaScript support is spotty and AJAX support is nil, and yet I want to consume some web services where the only access is through AJAX. My initial thought is to build a proxy in perl on the server side to do the consuming, and then parse the data in a re-write to the client browser using either XSL to transform one page into the other or maybe even using the raw JSON object. Getting modules or code to post and read web pages is WELL documented. What I need is a way to run JavaScript inside the perl code.
Has anyone seen this yet? Is there a JavaScript VM accessible from inside perl?
Any help or advice is appreciated.

Everything I've learned in life can be summed up in a small perl script!
