in reply to Has anyone attempted to create a PHP to Perl converter?

Have you tried PHP::Include?
#!/usr/bin/perl -l use strict; use warnings; use PHP::Include ( DEBUG => 1 ); include_php_vars( '/path/to/deepstructure.php' ); my $file = '/path/to/deepstructure.php'; print $file;
Here's the deepstructure.php:
<?php $structure = array( 'names' => array( 'a' => array( 'alberto', 'antonio'), 'b' => array( 'burro', 'brain')), 'ages' => array( 10, 20, 30, 40), ); $x = 42; ?>

    my $file = '/path/to/deepstructure.php'; print $file;

    Why have you done this? It literally does nothing to help. Did you actually try this with some real PHP code and not just a simple set of variable declarations? I don't think you actually know what the code you've posted does, your simply falling back to the DEBUG option to dump the perl the module generates to STDERR.
