OK in our company we have a RS6000 machine...that uses AIX as its OS, and there is a text file on it that I need to gain access from the outside because I need to write a CGI program/webpage that collects information from taht text file, that's why I need a perl program taht have access to that text file on the Unix system, is that more clear?
No.
Have you talked with the sysadmin of this box? does your RS6000 have, say, FTP, telnet, or SSH enabled? Can the file be placed in a public or trusted network share or web site? How would you, as a person, as a user, get to the file?
If the answer is "I don't know" you need to do more legwork, and less programming.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
