Greetings fellow monestary dwellers,

Today, I come with a question for the sages here. I have been given a project that has mixed perl and PHP scripts. I have a problem making one thing work now: a perl script passing some info to a PHP script. The way it was originally written was this: 

`$MODULE::PROGS/variable_setup.sh $MODULE::PROGS/myscript.php 'data=$_
+[1]' > $file$_[1].$ext`;

[download]

When I pass this to PHP, it is agnostic of the variable passed to it. The variable "$_[1]" comes from the following: 

open (IN,"$MODULE::INFO/data_file.txt");
foreach (<IN>) {
    split;

[download]

Everything on the perl side works fine. The perl debugger has been great. I've posted the same question to a PHP forum and had less than helpful responses. So, what wisdom do the monks have here? I am a bit stuck because the variable "$_[1]" will actually have a total of 10 elements as it is iterated through. So, can one assign an array to an environment vairable that PHP could then read? Assigning the data to an Apache variable? Other suggestions?

Thanks,

monger
