    You might want to check out expect. Or use ssh to remotely execute commands.

    Kind of the same topic so I won't bother creating a new one. But does anyone know about the net:smtp module I tried using it but got an error about wrong info being sent to mail(), What I would like to know is what does it expect, a string, an environment variable what??

    Baz_, I assume you've seen this http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/lib/Net/SMTP.html ? Looks like it wants a string to me, but I've never used it.

    Excellent stuff. Well i thank you very kindly xor, that is precisely the kind of reference for perl I've been looking for since I started. You surely are a star.
