I am trying to convert UK national grid references to latitude longitude - I found a cpan perl module that does it very well, and a demo of how to do it from a form. Trouble is that what actually happens in the demo is that the php shows the static parts of the results page, then calls the perl module which fills in the actual results.

This is fine for a demo, but for my production site I need to get the results back into the calling php where I can update a database. I don't really want to code that part up in perl, although I used to write a lot of perl that was some time ago and it would take me a while to get back into it.

Any suggestions?
