Have you checked for the last system message after the call from within Perl? That might tell if you if it's running at all and help determine the issue

print "SysMsg - " . Win32::FormatMessage(Win32::GetLastError());

Also, anything in the event log after you attempt the run?

On the Windows side: I assume user/pass is a static account that will never change? Otherwise if you have a rotating password scheme for security in place, this will haunt you later in a bad way!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
