Unfortunately, "use Sys::Hostname" actually forks off a call to "hostname" on most OSes. I didn't like that extra fork being needed, so I hardwired it... I understand your concern 'tho, maybe that optimization should be dropped. Is there anything other than $hostname that is hardwired? -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
