Sys::Hostname - Try every conceivable way to get hostname
use Sys::Hostname; $host = hostname;
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.
syscall(SYS_gethostname)
`hostname`
`uname -n`
croak
All nulls, returns, and newlines are removed from the result.
