Sys::Hostname(3)       Perl Programmers Reference Guide	     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_gethost-
       name)", ‘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.
