It's not possible, because PHP code runs within the web server process, not as an external program the way that perl scripts do. The perl scripts can be setuid, to change id when they are executed - PHP scripts cannot be.

Perl also has a very important "taint detection" feature which helps to prevent you from making security mistakes in the code. PHP doesn't have such a feature.
