The result of above script shows as:

<p>/Perl$ ./latest.pl
Global symbol "$late" requires explicit package name at ./latest.pl li
+ne 11.
Execution of ./latest.pl aborted due to compilation errors.</p>

When I use undermentioned subroutine as updated by you, it displays error like this:

ERROR:

~/Perl$ ./latest.pl Global symbol "$late" requires explicit package name at ./latest.pl line 11. Execution of ./latest.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

sub latest {
       my $late = `ssh root\@10.10.21.15 'cat /usr/local/qualys/LATEST
+_VULNSIGS'`;
                chomp($late);
                print "$late\n";
           }
return $late;

Please assist. I am sure I am doing some stupid mistake. Thanks!!!
