Porting script from Solaris to Linux

I have a script which has commands that are located in different paths on my Linux o/s than on Solaris. For example, to make uname work, I need to do it this way in Solaris:

Code:
my $host= `/usr/bin/uname -n`

But in Linux it is:

Code:
my $host = `/bin/uname -n`

I have this issue with at least 5 commands. I have never needed to port scripts between the different operating systems, and am sure I could do something with the path statements to fix this. I don't want to create a separate script for Linux and one for Solaris. Gurus, any ideas how to make the script run on both o/s?
