in reply to How do I execute a list of Unix commands from inside a perl program

IMHO with the information provided, it would be best to have the script on one server parse out the commands then do a form of remote command via ssh or kerberized (encrypted) rsh. 
open(CMDS, "file_of_commands");
while (<CMDS>) {
     chomp;
     # ssh -l username machine "$_";
}
