This is non-standard (albiet nice to have), which will make porting away
from FBSD more difficult. Caveat Emptor.

Subject: cvs commit: src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/lib gethostname.pl Makefile
joerg 96/02/13 05:17:50
Modified: gnu/usr.bin/perl/lib Makefile
Added: gnu/usr.bin/perl/lib gethostname.pl
Log:
Add a small `gethostname' package. It uses __sysctl(2), and thus
avoids the kludgy backquotes that are required by now (`hostname`).
Usage:
require "gethostname.pl";
$thishost = &gethostname'gethostname;
