       just after 3rd pass, maybe pass 3a or instead of perl in 3rd
       pass.

       it works just like the perl interpreter.

       actually, this works! but with one big limitation: i have to
       escape every special character, since php uses the same way of
       variable naming, $variable, as perl.

       that means this:
<perl>
open PHP, "|/usr/local/bin/php > /home/me/tmp/php-tmp$$"; # watch for races!
print PHP <<END_OF_PHP;

something out of PHP

<?php

echo "This line doesn't contain any variables, and it will be
interpreted correctly, even if it's spred over two lines";

$this_variable = "will cause a parse error in PHP, since perl will interpret";
$another_line = "the dollar signs and PHP will get just  this_variable";

\$but_this_variable = "will be interpreted correctly even in PHP";
\$line_2 = "because perl will deliver the dollar sign";

?>

Out of PHP, again


END_OF_PHP
close PHP;
open PHP, "</home/me/tmp/php-tmp$$";
print <PHP>;
close PHP;
</perl>

       so.... can i somehow tell to the perl 'dont interpret
       anything, just deliver it to the PHP, it will do the rest'?
