If you want to call a perl script from a php script use
exec("echo $variable | perl_script.pl", $output);
where $variable comes from php to perl_script.pl and $output contains
the variables from the perl script to php
have a look at $output[0], $output[1], etc...
see manual pages for php fonction exec !
