First of all (just so you know) the code is using a Bourne Shell heredoc. Not a perl heredoc.

I don't see any problem with the code. I ran the following (on Fedora 6):

#! /usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

my @result = `sh << EOF;
pwd;
sleep 10;
date;
EOF`;

print Dumper(\@result);

The output looked fine:

$ ./678154.pl 
$VAR1 = [
          '/home/chad
',
          'Thu Apr  3 12:27:32 MDT 2008
'
        ];

The ps output looks fine.

Have you tried running the command from a shell yourself? I suspect the ssmcons program is hanging. Maybe 192.168.2.114 is not responding or closing the connection.
