http://www.focusresearch.com/gregor/psh/ threw up all sorts of errors and I couldn't use it so I wrote my own short perl shell to use instead of cmd.exe.

This is in my C:\bin\psh.bat now along with some other modules in PERL5OPT for doing stuff to Lotus Domino databases and some simple reports. I realize that this is nothing special but in some cases instead of writing loads of one-liners this is more convenient.

$ histogram count dc_all(
:     $S->GetDatabase( qw( SomeServer SomePath\\SomeDb ) ) ->AllDocuments,
:     sub { $_[0]->{'form'}[0] } )
: ;
