I’d like to start a Perl script on a computer over the LAN
Discuss I’d like to start a Perl script on a computer over the LAN in the Perl Programming forum on Dev Shed. I’d like to start a Perl script on a computer over the LAN Perl Programming forum discussing coding in Perl, utilizing Perl modules, and other Perl-related topics. Perl, the Practical Extraction and Reporting Language, is the choice for many for parsing textual information.

Gentlemen!
I’d like to start a Perl script on a computer over the LAN (WXP). I suspect I should use a Perl Module.
Does anybody know which one or if I could do it this without one?
Thank you!

Is Perl installed on the distant computer? Which OS on the remote platform? How do you connect to it?

All 5 machines have WXP (SP2) and Perl 5.8 installed.
Host communicates to 4 clients VIA Lan only.
Username and a password used to log to the client and a Host.
I thought if I map D drive from the Host to a client it'll be easier to start my script.
I wanted to start my script on the Host from a client.
Thanks for the reply Lauren R!

Hi,
sorry, but I have no idea on how to do it on Windows XP. I don't even know how to connect to a distant machine running XP.

If you set the script up as a service on the remote boxen, then net start, or sc (if it's in XP) could be what you're after.
If that doesn't work, then you could have a service monitor a directory for scripts, and when you want to execute, ftp (preferably sftp) the file over to the intended box, the service would execute the script, and for acknowledgement sftp the result back to an accessible directory on the originating machine
AT could also be a runner here
If you are only doing this on the 5 boxen, then maybe sysinternals ps tools would be worth installing ... ymmv
