You don't want to use the Inline::PHP namespace?
No, it's not inline PHP, AFACT.
Wait a sec - it looks like the PHP namespace is already taken by a module that does essentially what you're trying to do. Can you just work with Dmitry on what it lacks?
I don't know. The developers working with me on the project say that it needs to be something different...George?
It would be pretty different. Some of the major differences are:
1) Use of it's own SAPI for tighter integration rather than using the rather hobbled embed SAPI
2) The ability to access back into the perl interpreter to directly call perl methods and access perl variables
3) Using the php5 object overloading capabilities to affect the Perl environment from within PHP
4) Support for instantiation of multiple concurrent PHP intrepreters
As far as converting the existing PHP module, I guess anything is possible, but it would require a major rewrite and I'd rather focus on making this work the right way instead of convincing someone else to let me merge work into their project.
