NEW MODULE: Sys::Hostname::Long

Hey there...

I have uploaded my Sys::Hostname::Long module.

This returns the long hostname of your local machine. There are however 
issues with it.

1) It should not exist, it should be part of Sys::Hostname, and once it 
works ok that will be my proposal.

2) It is far from complete, I have done a quick test on a few machines. 
I am looking for additions from anyone I can :-)

3) This module is nothing - I mean really hardly anything. It is simply 
a set of possible methods for determining a long host name. But rather 
than developers including all alternatives in their code it is here - in 
one place.

4) Like the original version (and still current fall back version) of 
Sys::Hostname it depends on calling external code, which is to say the 
least - dangerous - not counting slow and unreliable.

Hmmmm... has that put off anyone downloading it :-)
