I smell a trigger-happy hacker :). Maybe I'm just really thick, but would it be a better idea to run a backend PHP application server, cutting the problem into two nice, simple, easy to maintain layers. Have all the frontend in perl -- with maybe a namespace dedicated to the PHP backend via. mod_rewrite. PHP requests that need wrapped with header/ footers, etc. can be parsed by the intermediary perl. If it's the other way aronud, with perl output being fed into the PHP interpreter, I'm sure a setup similar to this could work too. Your problem sounds a bit icky though - is there no nicer way around it? Merging a PHP package into a perl app sounds minging.. David.
