NAME
    Sys::Hostname - Try every conceivable way to get hostname

SYNOPSIS
        use Sys::Hostname;
        $host = hostname;

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(), `$Config{aphostname}`, uname(2),
    "syscall(SYS_gethostname)", `hostname`, `uname -n`, and the file /com/host. If all that fails it
    "croak"s.

    All NULs, returns, and newlines are removed from the result.
