how to interact with JavaScript?

How do you want it to interract?  The most obvious way is you can use JS
to open a new window which loads a CGI-generated page.  Keep in mind
however that JS runs after on the client side and your Perl code will
likely run on the server side of the connection, so any interaction will
have to go though the network.
