Author standalone perl interpreter for Windows?
DN

Are there any free or inexpensive standalone perl interpreters for writing
and testing PHP code on Windows? I'd like to avoid having to install or
activate web server software.

Thanks.

How would a Perl interpreter test PHP code?

If you want a Perl interpeter to test Perl code on Windows, visit
www.activestate.com

Well, dahhh, Perl is public domain, of course there are. Did you check the
FAQ?
The most commonly used one is probably from http://activestate.com

Well, do you mean a PHP interpreter written in Perl?
You should have checked CPAN first:

There is http://search.cpan.org/author/KARASIK/PHP-0.09/PHP.pm:

NAME
PHP - embedded PHP interpreter
DESCRIPTION
The module makes it possible to execute PHP code, [...]

Does that fit the bill?

Um... No, Perl is not in the public domain. It's copyrighted, and distributed
according to the terms of either the GNU GPL or Perl's own Artistic License.

Although the "PHP" was a typo, for interest's sake,
one can use Apache::Test to test php:
