Scenario:

I have created a Perl script on a remote windows server (installed Active Perl on the remote server) that strips unwanted content from several text files and concantenates them into one file for further database processing.

Problems:

The user mapped the file directory of the remote machine and tried to run the script. It would not run. So I VNC to the server and run it from the host console for her (not the ideal situation). Of course, we both conclude that we must have Perl installed on the local desktop in order to run Perl on the remote server. So I go back to my local desktop (Active Perl is installed) and run the script remotely. It runs, but it may be running at least 10 times slower. I'm assuming that it is doing the processing on my local desktop PC processor and running data over the network. (not the ideal situation, either)

How can I run Perl scripts remotely and avoid the above 2 undesirable effects?

Does the solution have anything to do with RPC?
