Hi All, I've never tried something like this before, so my apologies if it's "easy"
We all know about the system command: my $program = "some_script.pl"; system("perl",$program); This would execute the program some_script.pl on the current host. But what if I wanted to run a script on another host? Should I create a socket? use IO::Socket; my $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => "$remote_host", etc. I'm trying to run a BLAST program on the other machine. Many thanks all :-) Simon ===== ######################################### Warmest Regards, Simon K.
