=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 C<syscall(SYS_gethostname)>,
C<`hostname`>, C<`uname -n`>, and the file F</com/host>.
If all that fails it C<croak>s.
All nulls, returns, and newlines are removed from the result.
