Of course, a loop would be a bit more elegant, here's just one example.

use warnings;
use strict;
use IPC::Run3;
use Encode qw/decode/;

my @outputs;
for my $loc ('/sys/general', '/env/bat', '/env/ps') {
    run3 ['uemcli','-d',$vnxe_ip,'-u',$username,'-p',$password,
        $loc,'show','-detail'], undef, \my $out;
    my $str = decode('UTF-16', $out, Encode::FB_CROAK);
    push @outputs, $str;
}

print $outputs[0], "\n";
open my $fh, '>', $textfile or die "$textfile: $!";
print $fh $outputs[1];
close $fh;

Update: Note that both prints in this example assume you don't have any Unicode (non-ASCII) characters in the strings (as your sample data shows). If you did, you'd need to set an encoding on the filehandles you're writing the data to - that's STDOUT, with for example use open qw/:std :utf8/; or several variations on that, and for filehandles, for example open my $fh, '>:encoding(UTF-8)', $filename or die "$filename: $!";.
