How to embed PHP code within a CGI-PERL script |

Facing a strange problem, not sure if anybody faced similar issue.
Earlier I had a static content website which comprised of html files. In some of the pages I was using embedded PHP codes, which was running fine.
Now I have changed the architecture from static to dynamic as below.
http://example.com/category/subcategory.html is internally redirecting to http://example.com/cgi-bin/display.pl?category=subcategory thanks to .htaccess
Problem is now my embedded PHP codes are not getting executed, and writing the PHP content in PERL is not a valid option here.
How can I execute my old PHP code snippets from within the PERL scripts over apache ?
Please help. Thanks in advance.

If you're using Apache2 and you can modify the server configuration, you might be able to change php's mode of operation to a filter instead of a content module, that way, cgi-scripts could output php-code and it would be parsed and run by php.

Can you pull out the PHP code as a file of it's own and run a system or exec on it? So if you have
<?php
echo 'Hello World';
?>
You'd put that in a file like hello.php and could do one of these in the perl script.
system('hello.php');
exec('hello.php');
$response = `hello.php`;
print $response;
If it's a remote php, just use a fully qualified URL. Another option, which shouldn't be necessary, is to cURL it.

There's the PHP::Interpreter module on CPAN. It works great!
