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
                        });

```
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!
