Perl to Php

[Pestilence]

Does anyone know of a converter to convert the Yabb cgi code to php for a windows system? I wasn't able to find a converter on download.com unfortunately.

Why can't you just install Perl on the windows box?

I really don't think that's even possible. I've never heard, nor can I imagine how it would be possibly to make one, general convertor which would take someones code and reword it into another language like that.

There's functions in Perl which simply don't have a PHP equivelant, and vice versa.

Sure it's possible. There are plenty of language converters out there. They usually generate horrible code, but they get the job done. If a Perl->PHP thing has been done I don't know of any. The question is, do you really want the code that it generates, and more importantly, do you have to maintain the code it generates?

I wouldn't really have to maintain it. If it converted it and the code worked fine then that'd be great. If not, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I still don't understand why you can't install Perl on the windows box... that would solve your problem, and you wouldn't have to do anything short of a proper install.
