Re: user net:openSSH and File::find::Rule together.

There are several ways to do what you want:

Pass the code to the remote perl via stdin:

my $out = $ssh->capture({stdin_data => <<'EOS'}, '/usr/bin/perl');
# Your remote script goes here:
use File::Find::Rule;
use POSIX qw(strftime);
...
EOS

For more complex scripts, for instance requiring modules not installed in the remote machine, you can use Object::Remote, alone or from Net::OpenSSH.
You can access the remote file system using SFTP without running any script there. Net::OpenSSH is integrated with Net::SFTP::Foreign which provides a find method:
```
my $sftp = $ssh->sftp;
my $now = time;
my @files = $sftp->find("/mypath",
                        wanted => sub {
                            my $e = $_[1];
                            $e->{filename} =~ /\.0$/ or return;
                            $e->{a}->mtime + 3600 >= $now or return;
                            1
                        });
[download]
```
Probably this method is going to be slower than the others as running a find operation over SFTP does lots of network roundtrips, but on the other hand you don't depend on having perl there, in some known place or programming for an antediluvian Perl version.
Update: The capture method call was wrong. Corrected!

thanks I prefer using the stdin_data route. somehow it is not doing it: this is the code: `$ssh->error and die "Couldn't establish SSH connection: ". $ssh->error; my $output = $ssh->capture(stdin_data => <<'EOS', '/usr/bin/perl'); use File::Find::Rule; my $today = time(); my $onehour = $today - (6060); my @files = File::Find::Rule->file() ->name(".0") ->mtime("<$onehour") ->in( "/mypath/" ); for my $file (@files) { print "$file\n"; } EOS` [download] the scripts outputs this: bash: line 15: stdin_data: command not found I do not understand what bash has to do here since we are full perl. thanks in advance for the coop.

Oops, the options to `capture` have to be passed as a hash reference. I have corrected the code above.	[reply] [d/l]

could the contents of the data feed by stdin_data we put in a subroutine instead.. I tried to put it in a subroutine like this: `sub finder { use File::Find::Rule; my $today = time(); my $onehour = $today - (6060); my @files = File::Find::Rule->file() ->name(".0") ->mtime("<$onehour") ->in( "/export/home/adm_garcimo" ); for my $file (@files) { return $file; } }` [download] then call the subroutine: `my $output = $ssh->capture({stdin_data => <<'EOS'}, '/usr/bin/perl'); finder() EOS print $output` [download] but it does not find the subroutine.. thanks again.
