in reply to Making PHP::Interpreter easier to install

May I ask why haven't you used PHP, that in my selfishly subjective opinion is a more straightforward and powerful module?

    PHP allows embedded php code in perl code. PHP::Interpreter allows allows to embed php code in perl code and embedded perl code in php code. I'm particularly attracted by the latter, e.g. exposing a large perl-based library through a php front end.

    No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them. [1]
      I've spent the last four days trying to install PHP::Interpreter and now I just found this comment that leads me to believe I might not need it at all.

      I don't know if you have experience with Bricolage (I've seen your name in their mail archives), but does your comment mean that if we use PHP code in our Bric templates, that we do NOT need PHP::Interpreter as long as we have PHP installed?

      Your comment seems to indicate that PHP::Interpreter is ONLY needed if you want to embed Perl code within PHP code.

      Thanks,
