It's hard to evaluate without seeing an example of what you'd actually
want to put into a hook.

It's awkward to use a list here, when you just end up accessing
$hook[0]. You can form the list on the fly when you call system(). You
also probably are missing a trailing "/".
I'm not sure that $GIT_DIR is consistently set; you probably want to
look at "git rev-parse --git-dir" here. But I think we make a Git
repository object earlier, and you can just do:
my $hook = join('/', $repo->repo_path(), 'hooks/send-email');
Or you can just do string concatenation:
my $hook = $repo->repo_path() . '/hooks/send-email';
If I were writing repo_path myself, I'd probably allow:
my $hook = $repo->repo_path('hooks/send-email');
like we do with git_path() in the C code. It wouldn't be hard to add.

Funny whitespace. I think:
if (-x $hook)
would be more usual for us.

I like "unless" as a trailing one-liner conditional for edge cases,
like:
do_this($foo) unless $foo < 5;
but I think here it just makes things more Perl-ish than our code base
usually goes for. Probably:
if (system($hook, $f) != 0) {
die ...
}
would be more usual for us (in a more Perl-ish code base I'd probably
write "system(...) and die ...").
