Definitely has my vote :-)

I also have my Mac OS X and it is already tested under Linux - so we
are close to a full house.
Anyone got a Windows box running Perl ?

Hostname::Long (one day I hope to have this integrated back into
Hostname and just be part of perl core, but for now it has a separate
name) is a module to get the fully qualified domain of the host you are
on.
Just like Hostname which goes through a number of methods to find out
the current hostname of your machine, Hostname::Long does similar
methods to get the full hostname of your machine.
There is no standard for getting FQDN which is the reason for walking
through so many methods.
