I'm looking for a standalone Javascript interpreter like the ones of
Perl and Python. Does such a thing exist for Linux?

Yes. There's Rhino (Java implementation of Mozilla's JavaScript engine),
SpiderMonkey (C implementation of the same, but not really usable as a
scripting environment), and a few other packages that look promising,
but that I haven't tested yet. I'd recommend starting with Rhino.
