No. glob returns a list.

From the documentation for Net::SFTP::Foreign:glob

$sftp->glob($pattern, %opts)
performs a remote glob and returns the list of matching entries in the same format as the "find" method.
From the documentation for Net::SFTP::Foreign:find
$sftp->find($path, %opts)
$sftp->find(\@paths, %opts)
Does a recursive search over the given directory $path (or directories @path) and returns a list of the entries found or the total number of them on scalar context. Every entry is a reference to a hash with two keys: filename, the full path of the entry; and a, a Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes object containing file atime, mtime, permissions and size.

No. He is already using the names_only feature that makes the method return just the file names instead of hashes.
Good point.

    By default ls returns an array of hashes, glob and find return a list of hashes. When names_only is set, ls returns an array of strings and glob and find return a list of strings.
