Not sure how that is possible since C<-e> is a file test operator, it
tells us whether a file (the argument) exists or not. See,
perldoc -f -e
For more. Is it really getting to the true part? Or is it passing or
dieing? Something sounds fishy.
What does C<$hostname> contain in both cases, try printing the variable?
