Sounds like you're trying to hammer a nail with a flower pot :)
You should compile and install the cgi version of php, which can be run from
the command line like perl, with php -q.
Remember that you'll need to declare the location of the php app just like
in perl scripts. :)

It's been a while since I looked into this, but I _think_ setting it to 0
makes it infinite. I think.
