hostname in Solaris?

I have the following syntax for resolving the host name in Windows:

my $host=`$ENV{windir}/system32/hostname

What is the equivalent in Solaris? Any suggestions on scripting such that it resolves the O/S before setting $host?

my $host = `hostname`;

There is a command named hostname (which, if I recall correctly, just echos
/etc/hostname.le0 (or whatever the primary network interface is))

I believe it is the command "hostname"...

Personally - if I'm scripting in Perl ...

use Sys::Hostname;
my $hostname = hostname();

this works on both Windows and Unix (and Mac's and Linux)
