First of all, capture the status (and error message?) of what you are spawning. Does that give you a hint?
Make sure you aren't being bit by whitespace or by quoting/escaping issues. On the command line, you may need to protect characters like ';' from the shell, but if you're using system with multiple args then that's not needed. | [reply]

You might want to give us the code you've tried and
in what way it does not work (the error messages if there are
some). Without that we can only guess what your problem is.

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.
