You also are using more than one variable with the same name, which can be confusing. I suggest you examine your usage of @hosts and $hosts in your program.

Personally I have no problem with using %hosts, @hosts and $hosts all in the same code. But thats just me. Now if @hosts contained something other than hosts, I would find that confusing. ;-) (Although I personally would lean towards %host @host and $host)
