Scripts reside in server A (Has Perl modules installed)

Webserver is B (no Perl and policy said we can't install)

What sort of environment are you running in that won't allow Perl to be installed (or doesn't already have Perl installed?)

Once solution to this would be to convert your scripts on Server A into a web service and communicate back to the PHP scripts running on Server B via JSON encoded messages or some such.

Take a look at the path_info() method of the module CGI for some ideas on how to implement this. It is a quick and dirty way of implementing something that sorta looks like a RESTFull service.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
