What would the PHP script be outputing - would it be a web page? In order for perl to be able to execute, and capture the output of, a PHP script, PHP would have to be built as a CGI interpreter. You would want to be able to do something like this:
@php_output_lines = `/path/to/php/script.php`; ### notice the use of backticks here
But I can't be much help since I haven't built PHP that way, but I know it can be done.
If PHP is built into the webserver, and the PHP script you want to run and capture the output of is a web page, then you might be able to use a package like LWP::Simple to retrieve the page into a scalar variable(or array?) and then do with it what you will.

I use PHP as a module, so I guess I will use LWP::Simple to do the job, thanks. //Daniel
