PHP/Perl script integration

Is this a problem?

[CMChris]

Is it common for someone to run both types of scripts on a webserver? Are there any problems with doing so?

I have always used perl/cgi for applications on my servers but right now cannot find a desired script. This script is however written in php.

(the script allows an individual to download a file after successfully making paypal payment).

yes, it is common to run both. It is difficult to pass information to and from both.... but if you use cookies and a database there should be no problem.

Login authentication is hard to pass. We are discussing that in another thread right now.
