[PHP] Generate PHP using PERL???

[Todd Snyder]

I hope this hasn't been asked too many times before because I've done an archive 
search and cant find the answer to my question.

I presently have much of my web site (www.home-fires.com) dynamically generated using 
PERL scripts.  I have a need to reduce image
sizes and my host supports this functionality via PHP and imagemagick.  (They will not 
support this for PERL however even though its
available) .

My question.  Is it possible to dynamically generate a page using a PERL script that 
will in turn be interpreted as PHP by the
server since I dont/wont have the option of ending the filename with PHP.

My hope is that their is some directive that I can output at the start that will 
invoke the PHP interpreter so that my output will
be run as a PHP script rather than just HTML.

Thanks,
Todd Snyder

Joel, I was responding to your post.
My intent is to minimize rewrite of my existing code.  I do wonder why my host wont 
load the perl modules though.  The company is
www.ipowerweb.com

Anyway, the suggestion to make a system call looks like my best route for doing this.
I also will take a fresh look at my code to see if I can divide it up better to make 
use of PHP for the image prior to running my
perl script.

Thanks,
Todd Snyder

Below was their reply to me when requesting info about the imagemagick perl module
