you need to invoke a login shell on the remote host, then  
your .profile will be sourced.

probably there is some option to specify the remote shell for  
Net::SSH, specify something like

   '/bin/bash --login'

alternatively wrap your commands in something that does this for you  
like

cfp:~ > cat `which bashenv`
#!/bin/bash --login
exec "$@"


and then invoke commands like 'bashenv something.exe'
