Is there a way to send POST values from a PERL script to a PHP script?

I'm not sure if you can store values as native variables in one language and expect another language to understand them. You could try writing them to a file in Perl and have the PHP script parse them out of that file.

You could post them to the PHP script's url using LWP. Basically you pretend to be a web browser submitting a page, and submit the POST data payloar to the script via the web server.

You could also shell out to the PHP script and cram the POST-formatted data into its stdin, I suppose.

Without knowing more of what you're trying to accomplish, that's my best suggestion.
