In priniciple, this can be done. Perl is considerably
better at hacking at strings than is PHP, so the conversion
is likely to be hard.

I doubt it. Our company builds language-to-language translators.
We'd probably know if it existed.


Our DMS technology is the right technology to do this,
though, even if it is hard.
We've done translators to do 100% automated conversion.

It isn't easy or cheap to configure DMS to do a translation.
Just lots easier, and lots cheaper, than doing by hand
if you have any significant amount of code.

We typically tell people between $2-$4 per line, for sufficiently
large quantities of code. Otherwise the setup engineering costs
dominate.
