This would help if you don't want to modify your code much 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my $List = "/bin/ls";
my $tmp = "/tmp";
my $var = "/var";
my ($Results1, $Results2);
&DoList();

print "Tmp is\n$Results1\n";

print "Var is\n$Results2\n";

sub DoList {
    $Results1 = `$List $tmp`;
    $Results2 = `$List $var`;
}

But mind this..global variables are discouraged in larger scripts.The safe thing is to assign the return value(s) as suggested by moritz.

The world is so big for any individual to conquer
