in thread How can I open and use a DOS window on another computer?

In this case, you would not use Cmd.exe but rather WScript.Shell to perform file and network operations on a remote machine; and you can even launch programs from it (see The behavior of Win32::OLE->new from a couple of weeks ago). Being an OLE object, it's fully scriptable in Perl using Win32::OLE.

    Nice thought, but the OP's requirements were that the commands be executed in a visible command line window on the target machine, and I can't quite see how to do that using WSH? Either the commands will run in the background, or each will be started in it's own window I think?

    I guess a clearer explaination of what the OP is trying to achieve would make it easier to know what to suggest.
