PHP and Perl on the same machine?

[Hullboy]

Hello

I am currently using PHP with apache on windows.

I have been reading about perl and would be interested in learning this too to expand my ability to solve problems for web based interfaces.

Can anyone tell me if it's okay to install apache,PHP and perl on the same NT machine and use both (though not on the same page, of course! - or maybe this can be done too?).

I'd be grateful to hear from those in the know!

Thanks

I cant think of a reason you wouldnt be able to do it. If nothing else you run 2 versions of apache using different config files.

n0cmonkey, thanks for replying:

Yeah, I guess you could run two versions of apache.

That would be an extra problem I would be keen to avoid, if possible.

Anyone out there ran perl and php together? I'm sure many must have considered it. Let me know!

I currently have Perl and PHP installed and my Apache 1.3.24 for Unix can handle both.

Yes to both of your questions. You may have Perl and PHP installed on the same machine running on one instance of Apache. You may also integrate Perl into PHP.
