Hey Guys,

 

is it possible to embed a .pl script in php

Why would you need to embed a perl script into a php script?

It seems more likely that you are interested in having a php script and perl script outputting different elements of an html page, which is quite easily achieved. You must simply use one or the other as either an api, or separate page that can be included using an iframe.

 

If you actually want the perl script to "interact"(receive data from the php script and return data to the php script) with the php script at run time, you will need to create a perl rest api, which is as simple as getting some query string variables and outputting an xml or json response, either of which can then be interpreted by the php script you are executing. Wherever you want to access the perl data all you need is a quick curl or file_get_contents call and you're set.
