As suggested, you should change that line to 

 if ($shape->{Shapetype} eq LINE or $shape->{Shapetype} eq ARC){

I have already changed it in the CVS version .

None that I know of, and the perl code is not easy to transfer to php since it 
uses perl libraries unavailable in php. It could be done theoretically by 
using mapserver to load the shapefiles and then query them and write them out 
one by one as it is done in the perl script, but that's not at elegant 
solution at all.
