zentara++ Thanks for the pointer. Alas, I have restrictions that I don't believe will let me use anything in the referenced thread.

Although I'm developing on MacOS and Sun, this perl script (for machine A) will need to run on Windows PCs too. I've already built an infrastructure around Net::SSH::Perl, for other things this tool needs to do on all platforms, and it would be nice if I could get this new addition to work for the Windows crowd as well (Net::SSH::Perl only works with SSH2 on Windows).

Failing that, I may have to use some form of command-line interface with putty on the windows machines.
