Re: Running Perl on Remote Windows Server

printf "$gbfree GB free from total of $gbtotal GB\n";
printf "total GB used $gbused\n";
printf "$perfree%% free  on drive $drive\n";

Seems to be a monitoring task ;-)

I don't know your environment but perhaps it is an option for you to set up a Linux box running Nagios?

If so you could simply use SNMP and Nagios for gathering information about Windows drives etc. instead of bothering with remote execution, PAR::Packer a.s.o.

Thanks Karl, unfortunately Linux box is not an option at this time in this environment

As I remember (it has been a few years), Nagios can talk to probes on Windows machines just fine. Whether a Nagios monitoring host will live under Windows is a question that an appeal to the Doc may answer. At worst you could run Nagios on a Linux image inside a Windows Virtual machine (or use Cygwin).
