Sys::Hostname(3)


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 the first available of the C library's gethostname(),
  "`$Config{aphostname}`", uname(2), "syscall(SYS_gethostname)",
  "`hostname`", "`uname -n`", and the file /com/host.  If all that fails it
  "croak"s.

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