Sys::Hostname(3pm)

Try every conceivable way to get hostname

NAME

Sys::Hostname - Try every conceivable way to get hostname

SYNOPSIS

    use Sys::Hostname;
    $host = hostname;

DESCRIPTION

Attempts several methods of getting the system hostname and then caches the result. It tries syscall(SYS_gethostname), `hostname`, `uname -n`, and the file /com/host. If all that fails it croaks.

All nulls, returns, and newlines are removed from the result.
