in reply to Perl/CGI Job Scheduling/Queue Web Site on Apache/Windows

This will get you started (thinking at least): 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI ':standard';
use Win32::OLE;
use Data::Dumper;

my $compName = `hostname`;
chop($compName);
#jobfire: launch stuff on different servers with WMI, otherwise 
#just shell to local .bat files
my @targetcomps = qw|YOURSERVERNAMESHERE|;
print header;
print start_html("Stuff that, if I did in .NET, I would STILL BE CODIN
+G");

foreach my $comp (@targetcomps){
    if($comp eq $compName) {
     system('c:\temp\foo.bat'); 
    }else {
    my $wmiObj = Win32::OLE->GetObject(qq|WinMgmts://$comp/root/cimv2|
+) or die $!;
    #die $! is probably wrong...check the API
    my ( $stuff ) = $wmiObj->ExecQuery('Select * from Win32_NetworkAda
+pterConfiguration where IPEnabled = True');
    #print Dumper $stuff;

    foreach my $st (Win32::OLE::in($stuff)) {
       
    print $st->{IPAddress}->[0];
    }

  }
}
   print end_html;
1;
