I need some help on creating a looping perl script that will allow connections on a port from a certain IP. Based on the command sent the perl script would execute a shell script and then the perl script would return the value to the calling host.

for example

I send a udp connection to with a variable processes, the perl script would execute ps -ef | grep -c "" and return back tot he udp connection.

I'm not very good with perl but have seen this done before in the past.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Out of curiosity, which hosting provider allows this type of activity?

I'm looking at creating this for myself, it will function as an API. I've also thought of creating this in C rather than Perl.

Which do you think would be more stable/secure?

In my own opinion I prefer perl.
