You're going to have to hire someone to do that for you.

Well if I was having that much money ofc I would have done that! Anyhow can you suggest me something from where I should start to learn perl
Learning the basics is one thing, but if you are converting an existing site/script from PHP to Perl, it needs to be every bit as secure as the original PHP application. That is not something you can pick up quickly.
The question you need to ask is why are you converting from PHP to Perl? Is it really worth the time/money investment?

Well it's not for money it's what I want to learn basically I always love to learn by creating something different or difficult. I did actually learn coding in PHP so that I can create add-on for xenforo as mostly developers sucks when they come to support only few provide good support and custom work is something that is way to high amount that ofc I can't pay as I don't earn that much myself in a month lol
And here is other reason : I started using new script that is written in perl and I was having issues with developers everytime as they don't provide support whenever I find any bugs or issues in their script working. Sometimes I had to even wait for one complete year forbug fixes and security related fixes(well I'm still waiting on this from past 7 months maybe already) that I just hate when I'm paying renew fees every year and still getting less support and no updates. I managed to learn very little bit so that I can fix minor issues myself. You can say the developer said he will fix it in next version and from past 7 month he said he will release new version this month and now he has no ETA for next version. Well if he was having no ETA from about 6 months he can tell us that already. I did loose many things because of his words.
So I wanted to learn myself atleast if can understand what his code does I will be able to fix issues myself.

Well, I applaud you wanting to be able to fix bugs and improve scripts. I would look over some online resources and take it from there. Learning new scripting language is always a little frustrating, but if you stick at it you should do fine.

Online resources aplenty, but there are also lots of good books on Perl for beginners. A couple days of studying will get you quite far.
