See the Sys::Hostname module...

I of course like wiggins recommendation since the more traditional code solution is
use Sys::Hostname;
my $host = hostname;
print "we be $host \n";which will port over the various flavors and not lock you into needing to have 'uname' in your path.
The other advantage is that you do not have to worry about the 'newline' since the Sys::Hostname module is your friend.
My pet favorite way to deal with getting information in from external commands of course is
open(CMD, "$cmd 2>&1 |") or die "cmd $cmd failed with: $1";
while(<CMD>)
{
# parse the command stuff here
}
close(CMD);Which is useful when the input you are expecting from $cmd is longer than a simple 'quicky'.
