Unable to install pecl extension for perl in Ubuntu Server 12.10

I need to call a perl script from my php file.

I attempted to install the PECL extension for Perl.

I was unsuccessful.

I tried the following:

pecl channel-update pear.php.net
Updating channel "pear.php.net"
Update of Channel "pear.php.net" succeeded


pecl install perl

.....done: 24,358 bytes
Validation Error: No release notes found

Download of "pecl/perl" succeeded, but it is not a valid package archive
Error: cannot download "pear/perl"
Download failed
install failed

I am running a ubuntu server 12.10. My PHP version is

PHP 5.4.6-1ubuntu1.1 (cli) (built: Nov 15 2012 01:18:34)

My Perl version is

This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 2 (v5.14.2) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
(with 64 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

Update:

I tried the latest 23rd January 2013 Pecl install for Perl

It was labelled as 1.0.1

I got the following after running pecl install perl
