in reply to SSH compatibility without external modules?

It depends on what you are trying to do. Have you looked at the ssh man page?

ssh [user@]hostname [command]

Note the command bit, where you could use the unix built-in find or a perl one-liner. All via perl's system()

    well, as you can see from the code above, what I'm doing is checking input/, input/save/, input/failed/ and log/ for any files matching *$corp* and printing them with their path, filesize, and last modified date to screen. We have a diskfarm at /usr/local/farm that is a NFS mapping on all 5 systems, but some of the older corps are on /usr/local/ on each of the individual systems... all I really want to do is have it SSH over to the other system, search the folders that aren't on the farm, and then print the results to the screen.
