=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.
