Use rsh or ssh -
system "rsh -l $username $hostname ls";
for the above to wrk without a password, your client machine's hostname
must be in $username's .rhosts file.
Better yet, use ssh with RSA or DSA authentication - then you won't be
exposing your password in plaintext.
There's also a Net::SSH module out there.
