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

    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;
