There's the problem: that's a syntax error - to override the value it 
should read:
my($hostname) = 'server1.mydomain.net';  (notice the quotes).

my($hostname) = hostname;  is meant literally -- hostname is a perl 
function that returns the machines hostname, you shouldn't need to 
change it.

Cheers,
Steve.
