Erm... why do you want the installer for some single program to do this? Wouldn't it be a lot easier if you just replicated everything that's relevant from one master system to the backup machine(s)? rsync can do this, but there might be more specific programs that might require less work to configure (I am not a system administrator).

I don't really think this is a Perl question per-se, however, I assume that you want to use ssh (probably with keypairs to avoid the need to store logins and password) to execute the same script on the remote server.
Your initial Perl script could do this for you with system() or fork() depending on whether you want to wait for it to finish or not. | [reply] |
Hi,
Use cfengine It is a bit hard to grasp.
A perfect introduction is laid out at http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/224 and its precedent article.
Not: I'm not sure if it works for AIX.
UPDATE:
And also this document.
