find2perl is exactly what you want. It takes a command line as you'd give
it to find and converts it into Perl. You can then take this code and use
it directly, or modify it as you see fit.

find2perl doesn't recognized the -local option, and the last argument to
-exec should be ;, not |;. This is how you would invoke find2perl (I'm
assuming here that -local tells your find not to cross filesystem
boundaries; my find (GNU find 4.17) has no option by that name).
find2perl / -xdev -exec grep -q "string" {} \;
This will generate the code that is the equivalent of the find command you
showed. Modify it to taste.
