I have two existing scripts that work fine as individuals.

The main script is Perl. I wish to execute the PHP script from a sub in the Perl script.

Usually, the PHP script is just run via direct url e.g. <http://me.com/phpscript.php?foo=bar>

I would like to just call the PHP script from the Perl and pass the foo var so, I don't need to hit the PHP script with my browser to process the data.

I am not talented enough to rewrite the PHP script to Perl.

I tried exec("http://me.com/phpscript.php?foo=bar"); and include and system to no avail.

I have read and searched but, found only solutions to call Perl from PHP.

I really appreciate the great guidance I always fine here.
