What have you tried so far?

You can do this so many different ways that it would help if you narrowed down your plans. You could use Net::Telnet to use the telnet protocol to log in and run the script, and that would allow you to communicate with the remote server. Or you could use Expect to communicate with the telnet program locally which would then connect to the remote server ...

Or you could connect via rcmd (rsh/rlogin), or ssh. Or you could have a CGI script running on the server that does it for you. Or you could have an entire daemon written in perl for running this - it would run everything local to itself, and receive input from your machine over the network much like a web server.

A bit more detail of your plans would help us help you formulate the rest of your plans.
