ABSOLUTELY. The current version is the 5 minute hack :-) I will have a 
look at the Sys::Hostname code again and do a little protection. Note 
that the newer versions of Sys::Hostname use networking methods to get 
the hostname. I am kind of hoping that someone will point out I can do 
something similar for fully qualified domain name.
