The reason for using Perl (or indeed any other server-side code) is because of the amount of data involved. You really don't want to be downloading megabytes of boundary data just so the client can draw a single polygon based on where the user clicks. Far better to send the click coordinates to the server, get that to work out which area it is and send just the necessary data to draw the single polygon you need to.
