If you can make Net::Pcap connect to a remote server things will work fine, I am not sure about using Net::Pcap to do this as I never used it and from the description it seems to be a packet capture lib not so much a communication one, but as I said if you can make it reach out and talk to the other side you should be fine.
I think you will end up using somehting like Net::SSH or something like that as these are more aimed at communication then Net::Pcap seems to be. But in the end as long as the other side is listening on a port and you can produce the required packets to get communication going you should be fine, there is no need to have perl, or any perl libs on the other side all that is needed is an open port that you can communicate with. The thing that is listening on that port is what determins what you can do, read email, open and interact with files or just browse a web page, perl on your machine cannot change which process is listening on the other machine. In short I guess you can if the other machine is listening, but you might want to use a more suitable lib for it.
