Sys::Hostname(3)					      Sys::Hostname(3)

NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

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

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

	 use Sys::Hostname;
	 $host = hostname;

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
