Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Does anyone know of a module to do this? I've looked at File-Remote, but it seems to be non-win32 friendly. I just need to open and read the contents of a Linux/Solaris file from a windows machine.
How are you are able to read (and write back!) a file to the remote linux/solaris box? HTTP? FTP? SCP? RCP? rsync? samba? nfs? other? Search for cpan on the answer, and should get you on track (e.g. LWP::Simple, Net::FTP, Net::SSH::Perl) ..
