Mark,
  I've got the code you sent installed and working (or almost working
anyway) snippet below:
>> foreach my $rec (@machines) {
        ($host,$user,$pass,$sname) = split(/,/, $rec);
        open2(*RD_HD, *WR_FH, "ssh -l $user $host $user/@$host uptime")
|| die "cant fork child";
        print WR_FH "$pass\n";
        <RD_FH>;
}; 

On the html document I produce this is what I get:
Content-Type: text/html Content-Type: text/html Content-Type: text/html
11:21PM up 33 mins, 1 user, load averages: 0.12, 0.03, 0.01
Content-Type: text/html 
Server Status
Pikachu -- 0 

I'm trying to get this silly thing working, so any ideas or suggestions
are more than appreciated.

His Faithful Servant,
Rev. Mark-Nathaniel Weisman
