how to scp using perl script

[SkyHigh]

Hi guys

I have a perl script that picks some records from the databse, creates a file puts those records in that file, I need to add some routine to it to scp this file to another box, at Solaris prompt the command would be:

scp file_name user@host_name:/opt/reports/

then it prompts for password

please help me do this - thanks a bunch.

# have u tried ?
system('scp file_name user\@host_name:/opt/reports/');
# note if u want to get the file_name from a var do
$fine_name = "whatever.file";
system('scp ' . $file_name . ' user\@host_name:/opt/reports/');
# hope this helps ---------------------------------------
