Thank you
That is what I was looking for. In other words no it is not possible to reproduce that within perl, one must use _javascript_.
Thank you

Note that what you are actually talking about is _javascript_. Despite the
similar name, it is not the same thing as Java at all.
The _javascript_ function you have pasted manipulates the HTML DOM (Document
Object Model) dynamically on the client side. In other words, it's Dynamic
HTML. In the current implementations of the major browsers, the only way to
provide this client-side functionality is through _javascript_.
If you wanted to do this on the server side (like in perl) then you would
have to regenerate a new page each time you wanted it to change. Not too
efficient, and probably not what you wanted.
To sum it all up, the answer to your question is no.
