in thread How do I send information to Javascript from perl?

one approach would be to redirect to an html file with a query string after you've done all your processing in your perl such as: 
$username = 'username';

print "Location: html.html?username=$username\n\n";

from there, you can simply grab the variable on the html using this: 
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
if (location.search.length > 0)
    eval('var ' + location.search.substring(1));
//--></script>
