It might actually be useful, though the idea behind Sys::Hostname module was to provide a system-independant way of doing just that. On Unix systems, Sys::Hostname::hostname tries several methods to determine the host name. It even tries gethostname() as such, without any luck on FreeBSD, since it tries to find a syscall gethostname, not a library function. All this is irrelevant though, since 5.005_03 has a bug which prevents Sys::Hostname module from being useful in all situations. +Anton. -- May the tuna salad be with you.
