"Also there's no $text variable in my script nor am I doing any substitution. Even if I embed the username and password in the script I still get the error."

The error tells you exactly where this is coming from:

G:\>perl cdr_vnxe\cedar_rapids_vnxe_v2.pl
Use of uninitialized value $text in substitution (s///) at G:/Strawber
+ry/perl/vendor/lib/Win32/ShellQuote.pm line 85.

"What baffles me is the script works fine if I run it from the directory where its in. No errors whatsoever. Just when I run it with the path, the error comes up. "

You have:

my $array_creds = Config::Tiny->new();
$array_creds   = Config::Tiny->read('vnxe_config.conf');

Consider the following example:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Config::Tiny;
my $Config = Config::Tiny->new;
$Config = Config::Tiny->read( 'file.conf' );
print "$Config->{_}{var1}\n";

[download]

When run from the directory containing your config file:

marto@Marto-Desktop:~/code$ ./cf.pl 
derp

[download]

When run from the parent directory:

marto@Marto-Desktop:~$ ./code/cf.pl 
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./code/cf
+.pl line 8.

[download]

As you see, the code can't find the config file.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Basename;
my $dirname = dirname(__FILE__);
use Config::Tiny;
my $Config = Config::Tiny->new;
$Config = Config::Tiny->read( "$dirname/file.conf" );
print "$Config->{_}{var1}\n";

[download]

Runs fine:

marto@Marto-Desktop:~$ ./code/cf.pl 
derp

Update: IPC::Run3 needs Win32::ShellQuote because you are on Windows. https://metacpan.org/source/RJBS/IPC-Run3-0.048/Makefile.PL#L13.
