how to change Editor in perl

i have following code that runs fine on my Ubuntu workstation. However when i run this on a HPUX it wont open the text file i am trying to open for editing. I figured i just have to change gvim editor to vi, but that didnt work out well. Can some one help me out here? This is written in Perl


Code:
my $unameInfo = `uname -a | grep -i linux`;
chomp $unameInfo;
$unameInfo = lc $unameInfo;
my $nonLinux = 0;
if ( $unameInfo !~ /linux/ )
{
  $nonLinux = 1;
}

my $STATIONGUI_EDITOR = '/usr/bin/gvim';
#my $STATIONGUI_EDITOR = '/usr/bin/vi';
if (defined $ENV{'STATIONGUI_EDITOR'} )
{
  $STATIONGUI_EDITOR = $ENV{'STATIONGUI_EDITOR'};
}
my $STATIONGUI_MULTI_EDITOR = undef;
if (defined $ENV{'STATIONGUI_MULTI_EDITOR'} )
{
  $STATIONGUI_MULTI_EDITOR = $ENV{'STATIONGUI_MULTI_EDITOR'};
}
