It's very possible and there are many modules to help. Help us help
you though, what are you trying to do? It could make a big difference.
I'm writing a perl daemon to do two things: back up important files on
multiple boxen so if one gets taken out another will survive, and sync
files in users directory from a main server -- i.e. I want to be able to
do something like $ ./distribute.pl --file and have it sent to all
boxen's ~/distributed/ directory.
How many boxes are we talking about here?
What you're talking about is no small feat. How can we help you?
You want a server and a client, right? Could it be and FTP server and a script client?
