HTTPCMD - Any Ideas?

[JerryBarrett]

Hi Folks - I have an ideas this may be in the wrong place, but it seemed the most appropriate.

I want to kick off a perl script on my website from a script on my PC in the office - as in

http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/risearch/spider.pl

I dont have telnet access to the webservers.

I found an M$ command in the Win2K Resource Kit called HTTPCMD.EXE, but as usual the instructions are naff. I dont even really understand it it will do what I want, let alone create the command file it needs.

How can I script this command to run from my WinXP PC? - any ideas anyone.

Thanks
Jerry
