You could use a different quoting mechanism for this, so you wouldn't have
to escape your "'s.  :-)

Look in your standard documentation for HERE docs.  A lot of people use
here docs to print HTML.  It makes things somewhat easier to write and to
read.

If the problem starts anywhere after this line, you should ask for help in
a javascript forum.  This is a perl forum.

It seems, at a very quick glance, like your parsehtm.pl script may be
munging your paths.  You might try running that script on a simple test to
see if it causes the changes you are seeing.

Also, I'm not sure that you shouldn't be posting these questions about perl
on unix to the MacPerl - Any Perl list?  Am I not remembering things right?
