My Perl is a bit rusty, but wouldn't '$host=$ARGV[0]' have a value of "-H" with these command line arguments (with "hostname" getting ignored because only the first element of the ARGV array is specified)?

Perhaps something like Getopt::Long might get you were you need (or just leave off the '-H' and pass only the hostname)?

Or did I miss the point somewhere?  :)
