afaik, perl/mapscript only compiles on unix (I believe these a
swig-related problems). To date I have not met anyone who has it
running on Windows.


That said, I read your original question. What Steve says is true...
you can run both perl and php mapscripts, but the question asks
itself... why? I don't know of anything you can do in one you can't in
the other. If it is all under your control, stick with one...
php/mapscript is well supported under Windows. The good folks at DM
Solutions have made wonderful examples available, many other people
(myself included) have created successful apps... php/mapscript seems
to be a viable, perhaps the only, solution on windows.

You want to share more as to why you want to mix perl and php on windows?
