An easy (albeit hacky) way to do it would be when you're dumping the
table to the page from your perl, for each nested level, generate a
classname such as tree-depth-<n>. Your javascript can parse that out
and use that to determine nesting.

To do it correctly, you're going to have to consider restructuring
your markup somewhat.
