At the risk of being savaged by rabid coders.... is there any way of calling a PHP script from within a perl script? I've tried all the usual things like require and include, even copying the PHP tags and code into a HTML quotable part of the perl script but to no avail!

The PHP script in question returns HTML which I want to display in my perl driven portal site. However, when I try to call the PHP it gets unceremoniously dumped to the browser window without any attempt to run it.

Now I know this is not exactly ideal, but it seems preferable to me to translating the entire PHP script into Perl (even if I were capable of that!).

Any help, as usual, will be much appreciated! :-)
