You need to be more detailed. In general, you can execute executables with backticks. E.g.
There isn't just some "command" in the Perl language that does what you want, though.
`dir /p`

Not only backticks, but also the command "system" works to execute external files.... you could also use an open command, and open the process with a pipe, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean about having 1 script run the same file on a bunch of machines... if you could be a little more specific it would help a lot.
