Then how about in reverse? Add something to the end of the Perl script
that passes the values to a PHP script? It could even do it via the
query string, maybe also passing an md5 encoded password that only
your two scripts know (in order to stop someone spoofing your script).

You can't make one form submit to two different scripts sadly, but to
be honest if you're going to write a PHP script to capture this
information - why not make it do what the Perl formmail script does
too? (i.e. send the email) and remove the Perl script from the
equation?
