EDIT:

Oh bother...

Just noticed it is perl you wanted:-
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
exec "wc -c /Users/barrywalker/.bash_profile"

git-peek-remote

GIT-PEEK-REMOTE(1)						    Git Manual							GIT-PEEK-REMOTE(1)

NAME

       git-peek-remote - List the references in a remote repository

SYNOPSIS

       git peek-remote [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory>

DESCRIPTION

       This command is deprecated; use git ls-remote instead.

OPTIONS

       --upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>
	   Use this to specify the path to git-upload-pack on the remote side, if it is not found on your $PATH. Some installations of sshd
	   ignores the user's environment setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and your privately installed git may not be found on
	   the system default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people who do not
	   want to pay the overhead for non-interactive shells, but prefer having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of the things up in
	   .bash_profile).

       <host>
	   A remote host that houses the repository. When this part is specified, git-upload-pack is invoked via ssh.

       <directory>
	   The repository to sync from.
