Pass variable to php

In my php script i use virtual() to run my perl script from which I would like to get a n array variable to be used in php. Is this possible?

I used virtual() cos php does not have Net::Telnet function. I got a result from it and saved it to a variable array. So I need to now pass it back to the php script to be used in php.

I wouldn't bet that that's possible. Instead of calling a perl program for a telnet connection, can't you use the fsockopen in PHP?
