calling JavaScript functions from PerlScript

[spunky_...@my-deja.com]

Is it possible to call JavaScript functions from PerlScript?

Take the following, for example:

<% @LANGUAGE="PerlScript"%>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" RUNAT="Server">
function a() {...}
</SCRIPT>

<%
# Can I call function a from here?
%>

I need to do this too! The error message says something about not
finding &main::JavaScriptFunctionName(). Do you think that if the
JavaScript block was given a name or id attribute, you could then refer
to the function as &blockName::JavaScriptFunctionName()? That's what
i'm gonna try, wish me luck.

This should work in the same way its works with VB. Try this out.

Q: When I try to call a VB Script function from my PerlScript, it says
the function doesn't exist.
A: You need to call it as:
$ScriptingNamespace->VBScriptFunctionName();

This does not work in JScript as it does in VB. I believe it may be a
matter of dereferencing the appropriate number of times.
