Here is an explanation of Net::Daemon.

Define a new class that inherits from Net::Daemon in daemon.pl

      require Net::Daemon;
      package Contdmon;
      use vars qw(@ISA);
      @ISA = qw(Net::Daemon); # to inherit from Net::Daem

In your class's constructor, call the Net::Daemon constructor and then do any other initialisation you need.

   sub new ($$;$) {
          my($class, $attr, $args) = @_;
          my($self) = $class->SUPER::new($attr, $args);
          # set up the logfile
          my $file = IO::File->new ( '/path', "a" );
        $file->autoflush ( 1 ) ;
        $self->{'logfile'} = $file;
      $self;
   }

Now write your Run method. This method overrides the Run method in Net::Daemon. It is executed whenever a client connects to the daemon

  sub Run ($) {
          my($self) = @_;
          my($line, $result, $sock);

          $sock = $self->{'socket'};
          while (1) {
              if (!defined($line = $sock->getline())) {
                  if ($sock->error()) {
                      $self->Error("Client connection error %s",
                                   $sock->error());
                  }
                  $sock->close();
                  return;
              }
          }
       print "Server received request: $line\n";
}

Now go ahead and create your server

     package main;
     my $args = {
        'facility' => 'daemon',
        'pidfile' => '/users/ccm_root/logs/contdaem.pid',
        'logfile' => '/users/ccm_root/logs/contdaem.log',
        'user' =>  'ccm_root',
        'group' => 'ccm_root',
        'localport' => '5440',
        'mode' => 'single',
        };
     my $server = Contdmon->new  ({}, $args);
     $server->Bind();

So at this point you have a daemon sitting there waiting for a request. Run this script on server A.
Now you need a client to submit a request from server B. In client.pl:

use strict;
use IO::Socket;
$| = 1; # flush output buffers immediately
my ( $host ) = 'server';
my ( $port ) = 1234;
# create the socket
my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new ( Proto    => 'tcp',
                   Type     => SOCK_STREAM, 
                          PeerAddr => $host,
                   PeerPort => $port ) 
                      
        or die "Cannot create socket : $!";
# so output goes to daemon immediately    
$sock->autoflush (1);
print $sock "What is the time, Mr Wolf?\n";

Run client.pl on your client machine, webserver(B), and it will send a request via the TCP protocol to your daemon waiting on server A.
Note that there are some security concerns with this. Don't let your daemon accept just any list of commands to run on server A. Perhaps sends 'RunA' from client.pl, and your daemon will then go ahead and execute a hardcoded set of commands before sending back the response.
Hope this helps
