[php4lib] Perl modules in PHP?

[Ben Ostrowsky]

One of the maintainers of MARC.pm, a Perl module for manipulating MARC
records, asked me if there was any way of calling Perl modules in PHP.  

I said that it was probably only possible by invoking Perl separately, with
exec() or passthru() or system(), but I'd love to find out if I was wrong.

Would there be any interest in porting MARC.pm to a PHP class?  I'm afraid
I don't know enough Perl to do much porting, but it sounds like it wouldn't
be terribly difficult.
