I was just looking at the Java module:

It seems to be what you're looking for, and /might/ be of use to me, I'm 
not sure yet. Ideally I'd like to be able to register callbacks as the 
javascript was parsed - like HTML::Parser - so I could do something with 
function objects. Is javascript is similar in syntax to C, perhaps 
there's something there I can leverage. Or maybe a generic parser 
framework for this kind of task that I can build on top of?
