PHP is quite perl-ish, and supports some extended functions borrowed
straight from Perl.

A browser won't run a php script; in a web surfing context it's the
server that runs it, just like a mod_perl script.

Just like Perl, though, you can

  php /path/to/myscript.php

from the command line (if you built php to not only install a web server
module but also generate a standalone executable) and away you go.  You
might want to use -q to turn off the http header output.

So the short answer is "no", but don't let it throw you.

Thanks Martin.

This is great. :)

Well, it's quite easy: Just write a php-script and start it with php
myscript.php. Thats all.

You could fetch a web-page with fopen:
$fp = fopen("http://www.mydomain.com/";,
"r");
$line = "";
 while(!feof($fp))
 { $line .= fgets($fp, 4096);
 }
 fclose($fp);
 print $line;

If you are new in programming, I think PHP is easyier to learn than
Perl.
