Thank you very much. Im still a little green on hashes and wasnt sure if it would work in this situation without introducing yet another loop.

I had the two print statements to show that it prints fine from within the if statement. (it gives me the three directories like it should) 
if ($fsline =~ /(.:\\.*)/){
   $dir = $1;
   print "$dir\n";  #works fine here
}

But if I print outside of the if statement I get the redundancies. And if there are then this command will repeat against the remote host multiple times for the same directory.

$badhost = "$logdir\\BADHOST.csv";
open (BADHOST,">>$badhost");
$dest = "$dir\\$file";  #will print redundancies here
$dest =~ s/[\s]//g;
$md5sumtmp = `rctrlx.exe $target /u "domain\\username" /p "password" /
+c md5sum.exe /app md5sum.exe $dest`;
