This article has me convinced that I want perl and php able to deal with
each other:

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9282?page=0,1

The install didn't succumb to my first try, nor the second, which was this:

cpan[1]> install PHP::Interpreter
Going to read '/home/fred/.cpan/Metadata'
Database was generated on Mon, 28 Jan 2013 12:06:54 GMT
Fetching with LWP:
http://cpan.cs.utah.edu/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
....

so far so good, and then this thing which I've seen in the literature:

using php_config 'php-config'
Can't exec "php-config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 55.
Failed to find the 'php-config' executable. Make sure you have PHP and
PHP sources installed, and that 'php-config' is in PATH. at Makefile.PL
line 55.
....

bla bla bla do not pass Go. Right now I have a default installation.

Simple question: What types of things can I get configured with
php-config? envelope data available? ftp data?
