You cannot. JavaScript is client-side, Perl is server-side. The only thing a web page can do is request a Perl-driven page, and the Request is either GET (pass the values on the querystring) or Post (pass the values in a Form).

So a typical technique is to have a hidden element on the form, set its value via Javascript, and then submit the form.

Not sure which direction you want to pass, but if u want to pass from perl to javascript -- you write out javascript like this snippet:
printf ("var myVariable = %d;", 1);
If that prints inside a javascript section it would assign the value "1" to the variable.
If u want to pass from javascript to perl, try AJAX.
