Separate Javascipt code from pure Perl code

[Nikos]

Is there a way to put those 2 javascript snippets that are currently
embedded inside index.pl into 1 or 2 separate files because index.pl
now has gone very huge, but also index.pl to remain functional?

var popup = document.getElementById('title');
var olist = document.getElementById('ordered_items');
for (var i = 0; i<popup.options.length;i++) {
if(popup.options[i].selected) {
var item = popup.options[i].value;
// if you want to allow multiple instances
// of the same item in your list, remove the
// next three lines.
for(var j = 0; j<olist.options.length; j++) {
if (olist.options[j].value == item) return;
}
var opt = new Option(item,item,false,false);
olist.options[olist.options.length] = opt;
}
}
}
function addFromEntry () {
var olist = document.getElementById('ordered_items');
var entry = document.getElementById('requesttext');
if(entry.value != '') {
var opt = new Option(entry.value,entry.value, false,false);
olist.options[olist.options.length] = opt;
}

var olist = document.getElementById('ordered_items');

if (olist.options[i].selected) {
olist.options[i] = null;
}
}
olist.selectedIndex = -1;
}
function selectAll() {
var olist = document.getElementById('ordered_items');
for (var i = 0; i<olist.options.length; i++) {
olist.options[i].selected = true;

-script =>
[

-language=>'JAVASCRIPT',
-src=>'/scripts/script1.js'
},
{
-language=>'JAVASCRIPT',
-src=>'/scripts/script2.js'
}

Will the variables for example $data will be able to pass from
index.pl => script1.js => index.pl ?! because both javascript snippets
use variabels of index.pl and have action with them....

Oh yes, then 'do', 'use' etc. could do it.

Don't rely on Perl variables. Pass parameters to your javascript
functions.

This is how to call he scripts, if only i had a way to pass the $data
varibale as well including call, can you help with that too perhaps?
