      You could always write client-side scripts in a subset of Perl.

Write in Perl and translate to JavaScript? Pretty much amounts to the same thing. As far as I remember you can't run Perl in a browser unless they snuck that into the more recent HTML standards... :-)

    Perlito (linked in my previous message) is a Perl interpreter written in Javascript. Thus allowing you to run a subset of Perl within the browser.

    And the HTML standards certainly do allow Perl to be implemented by browsers. <script> has a type attribute which is used to indicate the scripting language. Browsers are free to support whatever scripting languages they like. There is indeed a plugin written by ActiveState providing Perl support for Internet Explorer.

    You can run perl in some browsers. Old, nasty browsers.

    Activestate released PerlScript for IE many many years ago.
