How to Run a Perl Script Remotely in Windows
Perl is an older CGI scripting language that runs on Windows, Linux or Macintosh. The Perl scripting language runs on Web servers, but you can use debugging tools to run the scripts in the DOS command prompt in Windows. You must set the remote computer's path, so you can run the Perl scripts on the remote computer's directory. You can then use the "export" utility to upload the script to the remote computer and run the file on your local machine.
