I'm trying to write a perl script that will exec a command to stop and then restart a service on a remote win32 server if that service is not functioning. I know how to determine if the service isn't functioning, but I don't know how to initiate an rpc call to that remote pc. What's the best way to do this with perl under win32? Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I was looking for a straight perl solution, I've
played around with IPC::Msg but can't seem to get it to
work on Win2000, don't know if I have something wrong or
if it just isn't win32 compatible. Didn't know if there
were any other "pure perl" options. The llama in me wants
to do it straight perl if I can....

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).
