Re: Has anyone attempted to create a PHP to Perl converter?

Have you tried PHP::Include?

#!/usr/bin/perl -l

use strict;
use warnings;
use PHP::Include ( DEBUG => 1 );
include_php_vars( '/path/to/deepstructure.php' );

my $file = '/path/to/deepstructure.php';
print $file;

Here's the deepstructure.php:

<?php

$structure =
      array( 'names' => array( 'a' => array( 'alberto', 'antonio'),
                               'b' => array( 'burro', 'brain')),
             'ages' => array( 10, 20, 30, 40),
          );

$x = 42;

?>

my $file = '/path/to/deepstructure.php';
print $file;

Why have you done this? It literally does nothing to help. Did you actually try this with some real PHP code and not just a simple set of variable declarations? I don't think you actually know what the code you've posted does, your simply falling back to the DEBUG option to dump the perl the module generates to STDERR.
