My applogies for not mentioning what changes i made which helped me run the script successfully. This is what i did in the subroutine to receive the arrays from the subroutine: 
my ($node_ref,$error_ref)=get_node();
my @nodes=@$node_ref;
my @errorlist=@$error_ref;

[download]
and here is the return statement from the subroutine get_node 
return(\@serverlist, \@errorlist);

Below is the snippet of main subroutine and get_node subroutine: 
sub main {
my $path = 'E:/scripts/OutageNodes/';
require $path.'omwNodeDetails.pm';
open_log($path.'maintenanceMode_');
my $mode=get_mode();
my ($node_ref,$error_ref)=get_node();
my @nodes=@$node_ref;
my @errorlist=@$error_ref;
  if( $mode eq 'enable'){
        enable_unplanned_outage(@nodes);
                     }
  elsif($mode eq 'disable'){
        disable_unplanned_outage(@nodes);
               }
  else {
       printLog("Error invalid Mode $mode");
    }
    
    
printLog("There were ".scalar @errorlist." failed servers out of ".sca
+lar @nodes." in serverlist"); 
 
# clear serverlist
printLog ("Truncating serverlist");
open( SRV,'>',$path.'serverlist.txt') 
      or die "Can't open SRV '$path.serverlist': $!";
close SRV;
close_log();
}

sub get_node {

my @errorlist=();
my $sPath='e:/scripts/OutageNodes/';
my $sInFile=$sPath.'serverlist.txt';
my @sContent=();
my $sText;

##checks if the file exists and pulls the info out
      if (-e $sInFile){
    open INFILE, '<', $sInFile or die "Could not open $sInFile : $!";
    while (<INFILE>){
      chomp;
      $sText="$_";
      push @sContent,$sText;
      }
                                         
    close INFILE;
  }
  else {
    printLog("ERROR Cannot open $sInFile");
  } 
# check serverlist had entries
if (@sContent == 0){
    printLog("ERROR No nodes found in serverlist.txt");

    close_log();
       exit;
 } 
#get FQDN************

my $hostname;
my $fqdn;

my @serverlist;

for my $NODE (@sContent){
  ($hostname) = split /\./, $NODE;
  $fqdn = getNodeAttributes($hostname,'PrimaryNodeName');
      if(length($fqdn) < 1)
      { 
         printLog("No value returned from WMI, node ($NODE) doesn't ex
+ists in OMW.");
         push @errorlist,$fqdn;
         next;
      }  
    else {
    push(@serverlist,$fqdn);
  }
 }
return(\@serverlist, \@errorlist);
}

Only issue i see is ".scalar @nodes." is giving 0 value, even when i am truncating the serverlist.txt file after this print statement.
