Hello Monks - Being a Newbie in perl, i am stuck in an if() situation in my code, which happens to check server health. Problem is, I am comparing 2 variables in if(), based on that perl will run commands locally or Remote, please the code snippet below :

I used arrows in below code to indicate whats what. Please help. 
 
sub cpuchk()
{
        my $SRVCHX = shift;
        message("Server Received is : $SRVCHX"); ----> Testing to chec
+k Server name passed from outside(good)
        message("host test : $HOSTNME");  ----> testing to check curre
+nt hostname(good)
        if($SRVCHX eq $HOSTNME )     ------>Problem here - when both t
+he values are same, it still does not execute if and goes to else
        {
                message("Local Server Selected, Executing commands loc
+ally..");
                localcpucmds();
        } else {
                                message("Remote server selected: $SRVC
+HX");
                                     .
                                     .
                                Executes commands on remote server...
