My first impulse was to say that although this is probably feasible, it is a bad idea. My second thought was that if this pertains to an intranet, you should probably write a Win32 Perl script that operates via network which is fairly trivial (assuming your work site has some type of LAN).

However, after a simple search (which I recommend you always give a try before posting) on Google, at least three different plug-ins were listed that may do the trick for you. Naturally I leave the exercise to you but I'm sure that the Monastery (myself included) would enjoy hearing about your success (or otherwise) in this adventure. I still think that if you are dealing with a LAN, my second thought would still be the quickest, easiest approach.

Here are the three hits I mentioned:
