Running Applications on a Remote Hostby Alatar (Beadle) |

Alatar has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi, My problem is this. I am setting up a test platform on a Linux Box (RH7) to be used for running tests on remote hosts (Sun Stations). Because the remote hosts are running older versions of Perl and are not in my direct control, I want to be able to set up my Test environment locally and run the tests on the remote hosts. My scripts are run from the local host, but call applications on the remote hosts. I need to be able to run the remote app and return it's return code all from within my Perl script. I've looked into using rsh from within backticks, but I'm not sure if it will return values, and I'm having trouble getting permissions on the remote host. So firstly, am I going the wrong way about this? Is there a cool and useful mod for doing just this that I'm not aware of? And secondly, if not, where can I look for more help on rsh as the man pages are pretty sparse.
Thanks,
