1. Number of desktops x installing Perl + then the required modules = too much work
2. Your putting a user readable script onto each machine - that script may contain login details, unless evryone has their own login anyway.
I would install a webserver & run it from there,
1. Everyone has a browser - so no legwork
2. For future needs you have a platform to roll stuff out on.
or write something that can be compiled into a binary app, either gui or console, easier to roll out & eminantly more secure.
& just so that I do actually mention Perl in this reply(which would seem apropriate), you can script to your hearts content on the webserver, preferably even on the IBM machine that's being queried.
Good luck,
Daryl

I've been doing some work on AIX and using grep to find data in files, but I frequently run into situations where the lines are much longer than 2k characters. I found a nice tool using Perl to do this..Now I would like to beef up this script a little bit.. How can I run that Perl script remotely without using Telnet? Or maybe hiding it by giving the end user a GUI? These are my requirements.. 1. take a search string from enduser 2. log into Unix 3. execute Perl script 4. return positive/negative result to user.. I don't have a web server for this.. I can install Perl on end user desktops, but not preferred.
