Check out the Expect category of programs and modules. These are designed to allow you to interact programmatically with an external program or system that expects to be interacting with a person. See, for example, Expect.pm, Net::SSH::Expect, etc. > 2. If i use "ssh" as you suggest can i send password also through the > script..? if so how? See Net::SSH::Expect. While it can be a pain, setting up a key system for ssh means you do not have to enter a password or put a password in your program file for all to see. > 3. can u pls make me clear on this line - "my $rc = $? >> 8;" The system function returns a value in the variable $? to indicate the return status of the function it called. See 'perldoc -f system' for details. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
