+=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.
