Hi,
Thanks again...
but, the fact is this: i have a couple of servers at another place. I have a set of perl scripts each copied into these servers and one has to run it in the CMD to execute.

What i want is, instead of waiting for someone to explicitly execute it one those servers( 8 of 'em), would like to exececute it from here using a socket - server, client method.
These are the inputs required :
machine name, location of script.
and the script has to do the following:
get some inputs from the user, and pass these inputs to a script on the server.

The script on the server, works on these inputs in the database on that server, and populates a .csv file.
I can later copy that .csv file and generate reports.
All these functions are done via the command line. All my perl scripts are converted to exe using perl2exe, so that perl need not be installed in the server.

So shortly, double click on script1, enter data, the data is sent to script2 in some server somewhere, after sometime a text file is created on that server. Is this possible?...... THanks a ton......
