[Perl-unix-users] What is PERL equivalent to Unix (rsh) command?

[Loo, Peter # PHX]

Hi,

 

I am trying to check existence of a file on a different Unix host within my PERL program.  I would do like the following in Unix script.  How would I do the same in PERL?

 

 if [ `rsh hatchet-dom2 ls -l $CORPDIR/*.${fileToCheck} | grep Mar | wc -l` -gt 0 ]
  then
    echo "Found the file so go on!"
  else
    echo "No such file so wait before going on!"
  fi
