Hello, I would like to run a perl script that sits on my win machine (client) on a unix server. I have putty/plink etc. setup where from a win command prompt I can execute any command on the unix server (using rsa keys for ssh authentication). I have the following in my perl script: 
system("plink $server");
rest of my perl script

However, it does log in fine but does not execute the rest of the perl script. Also how can I use perl to get the permissions on a file and print the same to a text file. This is my code: 
chdir ($pathToCheck);
    
    
    open theInputFile, $inputFile or die "Could not read from $inputFi
+le, program halting. \n";
    open (theOutputFile, '>', $outputFile) or die "Could not open $out
+putFile. \n";
    while (<theInputFile>)
    {
        chomp;
        my $fileBeingChecked = "$_";

        if (-e $fileBeingChecked)
        {
            #my $fileSize = -s $fileBeingChecked;
            my $fileSize = stat($fileBeingChecked)->size;
            my $date_string = ctime(stat($fileBeingChecked)->mtime);
            print theOutputFile "Yes, $fileSize, $date_string \n";
        }
        else
        {
            print theOutputFile "No \n";
        }

    }
    close (theOutputFile);
    close (theInputFile);

I would like to add the permissions on the file - whether write or read etc. also to the theOutputFile. Any suggestions ?
