You could look into wget and curl. Both of these can be used to launch a URL you build as a string inside remedy, and then pass as an argument. It's sorta the same as running your perl script except that you can create the URL in a filter.
Wget is the older and clunkier of the two, but you can redirect whatever comes back from your URL into a file and then do other interesting things with that file. You could, for example, launch the url with wget, save the web pages that comes back in a file with a .html suffix and then attach that file to an attachment field as proof that your URL did whatever it does.... I am pretty sure curl has a windows version, not sure about wget and not in a position to check now.... Hope this helps, Doug ...... Original Message .......
