You don't need perl for this. It is easy to remotely exec stuff on Win32 machines within a network (provided we are talking NT/2000/XP). Here is a pre-rolled shareware solution that worked last time I looked: RemoteExec
Internal network servers are unlikely to be firewalled off (Win32 depends on all sort of ports being open to function), although you may of course have permissions issues.

If they do contain firewalls, you are probably going to run into problems.
I have got a similar problem before where the firewall allowed checking of email enabled, so wrote a script to check a particular pop email account every 1/2 hour or so.
If I wanted to do something I would just email a specially formatted email to the address and the program would pick it up and do its job. Not the safest way of doing things perhaps, but a good work around for me.

Use Remote Desktop connection, install the client on your machine and then connect to whatever server you need to execute the programs on.
