Can I integrate a Perl sidebar with wordpress

I have a site at the moment with a perl sidebar, and I want to make a wordpress blog and keep my existing sidebar (though wp is PHP)

Is this possible?

Can I PHP include the sidebar or something?

Thanks

 

You can convert perl to php

You can add a perl to php sidebar that will be fine.
Converting small perl files into php is easy but its when you get to the real big files comes the frustration.
You should have no probs converting a small sidebar code.

Look here

Me either.

I don't know if PHP and Perl are compatible as I've never worked with Perl.

It would be good if it was like php and html, you can just add it in.

Hopefully someone knows!

 

i found some converters dont know if they will do the job but it dont hurt to try.

Or you could just add this to your php file



<?php
$perl->require("yourperlfile.pl");
?>

 

Is the sidebar specific to a blog? If it doesn't need to access specific wordpress functionality, there is nothing to stop you from calling whatever programming language you want as long as it outputs HTML. Your limit will be in what it can do relating to Wordpress.

 

Ok awesome. It's not specific to the blog and won't use any of the wordpress functions

Thanks I'll give that a shot!
