Transfer file from Remote machine to local machine using Net::OpenSSH - perl

Question

I have built a script which should get a file from remote machine to local machine.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::OpenSSH;
use Data::Dumper;
my $local_dir = "/LOCAL/DIR/LOCATION/"
print "[LOCAL DIR]-> $local_dir\n";
my $remote_dir = "/REMOTE/DIR/LOCATION/";
print "[REMOTE DIR]-> $remote_dir\n";
my ($host, $user, $password) = ("remote.machine.ip.address", "userid", "password");
my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host,
user => $user,
password => $passwd,
master_opts => [-o => "StrictHostKeyChecking=no"]
);
$ssh->error and die "Couldn't establish SSH connection: ". $ssh->error;
my #file = $ssh->capture("cd $remote_dir && ls -1tr | grep Report | tail -1");
print "[FILE]:\n".Dumper(\#file);
$ssh->scp_get({glob => 1}, "$remote_dir$file[0]", $local_dir)
or die "scp failed: " . $ssh->error;
undef $ssh;
In the above code its able to print the Dumper value for #file but unable to get the file in local system.
Here is the error it throws at the end:
[FILE]:
$VAR1 = [
'Report_Managable_20200705.csv
'
];
scp: /REMOTE/DIR/LOCATION/Report_Managable_20200705.csv
protocol error: expected control record
scp failed: scp failed: child exited with code 1 at file_get_test.pl line 22.
Can anybody help me to fix this issue. TIA.

The list returned by $ssh->capture() has new lines at the end of each item. Try use chomp #file to remove the newlines.
