Hi

I am unable to call perl code from PHP, since the extension does not
get loaded !

Scenario 1:
use dl('perl.so'); in the php code and invoke the script from the command line
The script works fine and the perl code gets executed as well.

Scenario 2:
the perl extension does not get loaded and the PHP script crashes.

I have read the article
http://www.zend.com/php5/articles/php5-perl.php

If anybody has faced this issue, please share how you solved the problem ?

Thanks in advance.
