To start up a process on a remote machine, you might try using WMI. Here's an old test Perl script I wrote ages ago to do that:
use Win32::OLE qw(in);
use Win32::OLE::Variant;
my $cmdline = "notepad";
my $machname = 'dev-autotest';
# This is the WMI moniker used to connect to CIM repository.
my $class = "WinMgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//$machname";
# Get the WMI interface.
my $wmi = Win32::OLE->GetObject($class) or die "error: Get WMI $^E";
# Get a Win32_Process class object.
my $proc = $wmi->Get('Win32_Process') or die "error: Get Win32_Process
+ $^E";
# Create a BYREF variant so a COM object can modify its value
# and return it to us.
my $vPid = Variant(VT_I4 | VT_BYREF, 0);
# Create the new process
if ($proc->Create($cmdline, undef, undef, $vPid) == 0)
{
print "process created ok, pid=$vPid\n";
}
else
{
print "process create failed $^E\n";
}

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).
