backticks in perl sections?

[Kees Vonk 7249 24549]

I have a question about perl sections, I have the need to 
build a httpd.conf file that can be run on more than one 
server, this means that I need to determine what the server 
name is (for the ServerName directive), I think I can do this 
by putting:

<Perl>
   $ServerName = `uname -n`;
</Perl>

but is it wise to put backticks in a Perl section (as 
backticks cause a fork) or is there an all perl solution for 
this.
