Data-JavaScript
(1_11)
This is really only an answer to Smylers' rating: the output of Data::JavaScript is verbose because of the ability to dump circular structures. So a general rule of thumb would be: if you know your data structure is free of circular references, use Data::JavaScript::Anon, otherwise use Data::JavaScript.
All in all, Data::JavaScript is easy to use and does what it should. The only missing thing is unicode support.
EDIT: As of 1.10, unicode support is available.

Data-JavaScript (1_10)
No rating since I'm the maintainer. Unicode support has been added
in this version, and the module has always come with a file named
example.pl and a brief description with sample output in README.
The verbosity is why I created Data::JavaScript::LiteObject.
In the future we will be working on merging all of the other
dumpers into this one.

It would be much easier to quickly learn what this module achieves if its documentation provided some sample output.
So far as I can tell this module works: you pass it a Perl array or hash, and it constructs a valid JavaScript fragment for storing the same data in a JavaScript array or hash.
My main complaint is with the verbosity of the JavaScript it creates: repeating the variable name each time, rather than using the syntax for assigning an entire array or hash at once. Data::JavaScript::Anon provides better output.
