Hi,

First, I would have you take a look at the Net::Rsh module (it has a simple interface). Next, I would recommend using Net::SSH::Perl instead for security and compression of the data stream(s).

While compression may not be a concern for you, it may be if your user(s) need to transfer a great deal of information back or if they are on a slow connection. In any case, I have a hard time seeing the use of rsh itself IMHO.

hope this helps and isn't too preachy.
