Why on Earth would you want to do that? Seriously, I can't think of any
situation where mixing PHP and Perl is easier than just writing in Perl
in the first place.

Note that the Perl in that article (or at least, the first page, which
was all I read) is pretty bad:

- use of global filehandles, unnecessary since 2000,
- use of Thread.pm, deprecated since 2002,
- use of threads at all for such a trivial problem,
- using rindex and substr rather than pattern matching,
- using backticks instead of system(),
- using PHP to talk to a database, when Perl's DBI module is
considerably better than PHP's rather random database functions.

I don't know PHP well enough to comment on it, but I wouldn't be
surprised if the PHP code was just as bad (for instance, I understand
PHP has a saner database interface these days; I don't know if it
existed in 2007, though).

php-config is a program installed with php, which tells other programs
how php was installed. For instance, on my system

~% php-config --libs
-lcrypt -lcrypt -lpcre -lm -lxml2 -lz -liconv -lm -lcrypt -lcrypt
~% php-config --includes
-I/usr/local/include/php -I/usr/local/include/php/main
-I/usr/local/include/php/TSRM -I/usr/local/include/php/Zend
-I/usr/local/include/php/ext -I/usr/local/include/php/ext/date/lib
~%

and so on. If you've installed php properly (including any required
development packages, if you're using a package system), you should have
a php-config executable somewhere. Make sure it's in your PATH before
running Makefile.PL.
