A architecturally safe model would be to run it via a plugin in
the client browser, and not on the server at all.  This obviates
the need for a perfectly implemented server-side compartment.

E.g. activestate's Tcl dev kit has just such a plugin:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/Tcl_Dev_Kit/3.1/Browser.html

Quickly googling, I didn't find one for Perl.
