Hi, if I were in your shoes, this would be my approach. If you can, run your app thru ssh. If your server has an X server, you can even run X apps thru ssh and it will be displayed on your local display. The problem most run into, is that most servers don't allow an X server to be run, because of system bloat and insecurities. This normally means that you will have to run your programs remotely as commandline via ssh. There are numerous examples on google. What you can then do, is use the Tk::ExecuteCommand example I showed on your local machine, but with ssh remote commands instead of local commands. I hope that makes sense. For example, see Net::SSH2::Channel Net::SSH2 Interactive command example and A little demo for Net::SSH2.

Remember, unless your server has an X server running, which it probably dosn't, you won't be able to run any gui program. If you don't want to use Net::SSH2, you can always run (individual ssh with options) from a local Tk-ExecuteCommand gui. That way, you have your gui on your local machine, but run non-gui commands on the server you connect to.
