Hi everyone, Here is my situation. I have a windows system which continuosly runs a perl script, which utilizing Win32::Process and Win32::Setupsup is controlling a windows only app and when triggered makes it spit export files to a samba network share. From there on my main process which runs off a CGI under linux uses those files for internal purposes and so on and so forth. I would like to be able to trigger all exports remotely from the linux machine. In order to do this I need to communicate 4 strings to the process running on the windows machine. No information should be returned back, except maybe a 0/1 flag signifying failure/completion. I looked into SOAP and since I am not running Apache or IIS or anything else on the windows box for increased stability I started thinking about something like SOAP::Transport::TCP (not much docs to look at unfortunately). It seems to be able to do the job, however I feel it is an overkill for communicating 4 strings one way and 1 string the other way... I would appreciate if more seasoned programmers share suggestions on how would they approach such a problem (maybe there is something way simpler than SOAP that I simply do not know about).
