Did you do a super search? This exact same problem has been discussed a few zillion times on PM.

Though here are a few big issues I have with your implementation:
  1. you allow rsh as root?!? Are you insane?
  2. you are wasting quite a bit of memory by sucking the output of the command into resultText, since all you do is suck it up and spit it back out directly.
  3. you should use Parallel::ForkManager
