Re: perl to php translation tool?

I've searched for a tool that would translate, or at least mostly translate, perl scripts into php, unfortunately with no success.

It's simply impossible. By example, a Perl script handling file uploads cant be translated automatically : php4 handles file uploads _before_ the php script gets executed (choosing tmp filename, filling $_FILES etc). AFAIK PHP can't do everything Perl can (ex download progress), so automatic translations are not possible unless very simple/specific cases. Some translation problems are - very different OO models - different handling of references - and, as suggested by Raditha, in Perl, TIMTOWTDI -- There Is More Than One Way To Do It

Does anyone know of any tool that can handle this type of thing?
