Good $localtime

I see this in your code:
    message("host test : $HOSTNME");  ----> testing to check current hostname(good)
I guess $HOSTNAME is the name of the host you are running on. If so a nice portable way to get this, is to use Sys::Hostname (in Perl Core)

use strict;
use warnings;
use Sys::Hostname;

print "I am running on:". hostname .", thank you and goodnight\n";

Sys::Hostname creates the constant hostname that provides a nice clean, portable, line break free instance of your hostname. You may want to copy it to $host for easier use in strings:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Sys::Hostname;

my $host = hostname;
print "I am running on: $host, thank you and goodnight\n";

Cheers,
R.
