I think it's pretty much guaranteed that it will be more work to make
perl and PHP code cooperate for building a single app than to just learn
enough perl to solve these issues without splitting things up. Have you
looked at tools like Embperl, Mason, and Apache::ASP? They provide a
similar style of working to PHP.
I might be off target here, but I've started using the template toolkit (TT) in my first ever mod_perl "site", and while I'm sure I'm not following any "right" way to do things, I like the way it works with TT for the presentation.
When I fiddled with php, there was a lot of talk about various templating systems Smarty etc, but I never tried them, mostly becuase I fell into having code and HTML all in the one file/program.
Anyway, I might be way off with what you are after, but for presentation, that's what I use and it works for me, since I can do all the logic and then call in the template to send it to.
