That's not too easy, since you want to perform a web server subrequest.
You can do that with virtual(<filename>); but that will only work if you
are using apache with mod_php.
A more portable way would be trying to launch the perl interpreter from
php, on the lines of system("/usr/bin/perl <filename>"); but that may or
may not work, depending on the script.
