Hey Folks, I'v got the below code, and it works fine when i run it from the command line, but
when i fire it from the web form it gives me the following in my error_log 
------------error log ---------------------
Can't locate Net/Rexec.pm in @INC (@INC contains:  blah blah 
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted
 at /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/cgitest2.pl line 3.
Fri Aug 17 18:41:06 2001 (Error) Premature end of script headers: 

------ End log -----------------
And yes, i know i should filter the arglist before allowing it to be passed as cmd line args
for the rexec. I'll gladly accept all sugestions there as well.
------------   Code here --------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard);
use Net::Rexec 'rexec';
$|=1;

foreach $i (1..5) {
        my $varname=uc param("var$i");
        push @arglist, $varname;
}

$rsys = "myotherbox";
$rcmd = "/pathto/my/program @arglist";
$ruser = "username";
$rpass = "password";

($rc, @rcmdOutput) = rexec($rsys, $rcmd, $ruser, $rpass );

print @rcmdOutput;
---------------- eoc -----------------
