The correct fix is to create a FreeBSD-specific mechanism to get the
hostname. (This took me all of ten minutes to do, most of which was
deleting all of the cruft h2xs put in that was not needed.) Then,
Sys::Hostname gets the following addition:
} elsif ($^O eq 'freebsd') {
require FreeBSD;
$host = "\0" x 1024; # XXX should import MAXHOSTNAMELEN
&FreeBSD::gethostname($host, length($host));
}
