The initial version will be a straight port, new features will be added once I get the base version caught up with the perl version.
One thing that I have always gotten compliments on is clean/commented code, so that shouldn't be a problem.
I've got almost 2 years in of optimizing the program for SQL and the number of SQL calls has always been kept to a minimun as a priority.
The difference between porting and writing from scratch depends upon the languages. If you have a fundamental difference in the logic of the language then it would probably be easier to write from scratch. But, the differences between PHP and PERL are minimal, the logic is basically the same so there will be no loss in doing a port.
If there is enough interest in a conversion script from different products, then yeah I would probably write one up.
