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.
