Hi Derrick,
I would consider using Net::SSH::Perl, or XML-RPC (RPC::XML). I've had to do
similar things, and have been happy with XML-RPC. You can have it run as a
server, however, with some trickery, you can also have it 'embedded' in another
server or script. I haven't personally used Net::SSH::Perl for anything more
than trying it out, but it may be a viable option for you.
I would suggest not using telnet, or even having it running. You also may want
to consider if things need to be, or should be, encrypted. If so, the SSH, or
SSL should be part of the puzzle.
Cheers,
Kevin
