PERL script to PHP conversion question

I have a PERL Zip Code Locator script that I would like to convert to PHP. The PERL script uses several different data files (one of which is a flatfile "database"). I want to be able to use PHP to do Zip code proximity searches of a MySQL table instead of using PERL to search a flatfile. Anyone have any suggestions?

PS I have the PERL script available for viewing. It is fairly large so I didn't want to post it unless someone wants to see it.

Very likely.
Don't know what else to say really. How good do you consider yourself with PHP and/or Mysql? (Just to get to know what level your at in later discussions).

I dabbled with JavaScripting and PERL a little bit. I know how to tweak things with those. I am just learning PHP but picking it up quickly. I am open for any suggestions or teaching tips.
