dubl1n has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi All - Let me start off by saying that I am not looking for someone to write a script for me, I am a beginner and I am just looking for someone to push me in the correct direction. Here is my scenario: I have a script written that uses Win32:Service to start and stop services on a local machine, whether that is my machine or one of our servers. What I am looking for is the ability to run the script on my machine and remotely start/stop the services. Right now if I put in a hostname in my script I return nothing. To confuse things a bit I am an admin on the servers but I have an admin account for the servers and my user account for my machine. Any thoughts, any modules that I could look into?
