Brute force: before the part above, add:

$perl->eval("\$easting = '$easting'");
$perl->eval("\$northing = '$northing'");

This will create two Perl variables called $easting and $northing and
assign to them the values of the PHP variables of the same name.

However, I'm sure your Perl extension offers a saner way of passing
variables between the languages. Read the documentation thoroughly.
