Do you have a DMZ? Do you have a firewall? Do you have control over these, if they exist? Remote as in across the Internet? Remote as in across the local LAN?

A server will listen on a specific port for connections. You can write a server in Perl and there are plenty of examples. Use Super Search. In order to connect to this server remotely you need to be able to 'SEE' this port from the remote machine. Lets assume no firewall, and across Internet: 

Win32 Server on 1.2.3.4  <------- connect 1.2.3.4:8080

[download]

As soon as you add firewalls you need to have two things occur. You need to map from the external IP the intenal IP and allow connections on the target port: 

Server 10.0.0.1 <--- DMZ/FW 1.2.3.4 <----- connect 1.2.3.4:8080

[download]

It's anyone's guess if you will be able to connect through a firewall/DMZ. Not unless it is specifically configured to allow it in all liklihood.

What is it you need to remotely execute. There may well be a pre written solution to your problems.....
