Hi guys,

Thank you for your input about the hostname problem! (I was away yesterday)
After reading all your suggestion, I decided to replace

    chop($host = `hostname`);
      with
    chop($host = `/usr/ucb/hostname 2>/dev/null`  `uname -n 2>/dev/null`);

in hostname.pl.It works very well.

I am amused to know that I can get so many support from internet.
