Converting PHP to Perl.

[perlone]

I have message board written in PHP, does it anybody knows any perl software that will translate this to perl? I'll also try the PHP forum.

Hmmm, I don't think that this would be possible. If there is, I dont think that the software is written in Perl.

I know there are other converters (like Perl to Awk and stuff), but I can't say the same about PHP to Perl.

It would be a big job since PHP can be so different than Perl (especially when dealing with databases). The Perl DBI is so different than the functions for databases with PHP.

If the forum uses flat text files, then it may be a little easier. But, from what I know, I think that you might be stuck with rewriting the thing.

If someone does find a php2perl converter, I would be extremely appreciative.

Aaron, hope this helps.

ok, i might write a new script like that PHP version. I do know Perl could convert to PHP with PHP Builder. Thanks for the response.
