You're confusing the headers here, CGI::App's header_add is for HTTP
headers, like cookies, content type, etc. On the other hand, if you
want to include javascript, one of the ways of doing it is putting it
in the inside a <script></script> section in your html's
<header></header> section.

The advice given by Michael still applies.

P.S. If you're doing AJAX, you could read HTTP headers that contain JS
code and eval it but that sounds like a lot of unnecessary trouble and
not what you really need.
