As Wolf pointed out, this can get complex. Here's some code that
ssh's to a remote machine, runs a little script "/usr/newPort/addOne.pl"
(not shown) to add one to a number in a file "portNum" on the remote
machine, then ssh's to the machine again and uses "cat" to assign the new
number in the file to a variable $port for the script on the local machine.
qx/\/usr\/bin\/ssh -n -l root 172.26.10.10 'perl
\/usr\/newPort\/addOne.pl'/;
$port = qx/\/usr\/bin\/ssh -n -l root 172.26.10.10 'cat
\/usr\/newPort\/portNum'/;
chomp $port;
Please investigate the difference between "qx" and "system"-- they
are not the same. For the first example above, either would work; for the
second, only "qx" will work. That you need to capture information leads me
to think you probably need "qx", but I could be wrong. For "ssh" and "perl"
and "cat" in the examples above, substitute whatever you need to do to get
your information on the remote machines.
I hope that's enough information to get you started...
