=head1 NAME
Sys::Hostname - Try every conceivable way to get hostname
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Sys::Hostname;
$host = hostname;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Attempts several methods of getting the system hostname and
then caches the result. It tries the first available of the C
library's gethostname(), C<`$Config{aphostname}`>, uname(2),
C<syscall(SYS_gethostname)>, C<`hostname`>, C<`uname -n`>,
and the file F</com/host>. If all that fails it C<croak>s.
All NULs, returns, and newlines are removed from the result.
