This really isn't a perl question. Write out your javascript in a
simple HTML file and see if that works. If it does then port write the
perl code to output that HTML.
This isn't the forum for this but... When you call
nwin.document.write() you should be passing HTML, not just any old
string. You should have write everything from the "<html>" to "</html>"
and then call nwin.document.close(). Netscape is probably just being
picky about how you're writing to the window.
