Because it needs to be run on n number of servers and I need the results on my win desktop. It would be a pain to upload the script on each server and get the results file back to my machine each time I want to run the script.	[reply]

Write a deploy script that copies the work script to all servers. Something like this: `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; foreach my $server qw( oldserver newserver strangeserver ) { system "pscp workscript.pl user\@$server:/tmp/workscript.pl"; }` [download] For instant results, add this to the foreach loop: `system "plink user\@$server perl /tmp/workscript.pl -foo -bar -kab +oom";` [download] Or use one of the SSH modules available at CPAN.

Well, that's how the world works. You got to have the program on the machine where you want to run it. There's absolutely no way to run a program that's one one machine on another without first transferring the program. Regardless of what OS the machines runs, or in which language the program is written in. It's like wanting to read a book that's in the library. You first get to check out the book...	[reply]
