Perl and PHP Mashup

Theory writes "As part of the developer release of Bricolage 1.9.0 Punkin last week, I blogged about some of the cool new features, including native PHP 5 templating. How does it work? It's thanks to the new PHP::Interpreter module, which embeds a PHP interpreter in Perl. The upshot is that this module can be used to execute PHP code that can reach back into Perl to use Perl modules. For PHP developers, CPAN envy is a thing of the past."

  Is that true? I mean, wouldn't PHP normally already be interpreted by a PHP interpreter (mod_php, I think)? How would this allow PHP developers to use CPAN modules, you'd have to wrap your whole PHP environment in Perl?

    Yes, they'd have to switch it to Perl, but just install a simple mod_perl handler that hands everything off to PHP::Interpreter. Hell, this would even allow PHP d00ds to get access to the other Apache request phases!

    But I thnk that George plans to make things more transparent and theref

  wasn't there a PHP interpreter module on cpan already, http://search.cpan.org/~karasik/PHP-0.09 [cpan.org] ?

  I am confused. The Bricolage website seems to be down and has been for several days. Anyone know why?

    I can't get to the Bricolage site either. There doesn't seem to be a web server running on it, only ssh.

    The Google cache [64.233.167.104] is still available, however. Kineticode's Bricolage download page [kineticode.com] is as well.

    I've emailed Kineticode about this issue; hopefully it will be fixed soon. Bricolage looks like an interesting program, I'll have to look into it next time I need a CMS.
