Hi all
1......Can you convert a Perl/cgi script into PHP?
2.......If so is there any programs that can do it?
3 If so what are the urls?
4......If someone was to do this What would the cost be?
I know "How long is a bit of string"
As always, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

It's called a brain. Buy some Perl and PHP books, read them, and you
should have your program.

Thank you for your comments. I do not think
I have done loads of searches with google to TRY to find out how to do this BUT nothing came
back. It seams to me that there now seams to be a script or program to do most things.
BUT it does not look like for this type of thing.
If I had years of working with Perl than I would NOT have posted to this forum.
All I ask for was if it could be done
It is like most things EASY when you know how
Thank you

Machine translation from one language to another is typically not an easy
task. Compilers are one case, usually converting from a higher level language
to a lower level one (e.g. C to machine code).
Conversion between two high-level languages is harder. The only program that
can read Perl reliably is perl, and even once it's parsed, converting it to an
equivalent PHP program would, in the general case, be very hard.
There's some converters for other languages, such as asp2php, but all they
produce is an initial base that you'd have to edit heavily afterwards. And in
that case, it's coming from a much simpler language.

Since machine translation is unlikely, that means you need a programmer, in
which case the length of the piece of string depends on the program.
