finding my hostname

BadMojo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Quick qestion or at lest I think this should be a quick one! How would I go about finding the hostname, computername, of the computer that a script is currently running on? Thank you in advanced for any help.

Also, in addition to the method given in the FAQ gellyfish cited, if the script in question is a CGI script running under Apache/Unix (yes, a lot of ifs), then you can look at the variables `$ENV{ HTTP_HOST }` and `$ENV{ SERVER_ADDR }` for the server name and IP address, respectively. the lowliest monk	[reply]

But since you'd of course be using CGI you could just use `virtual_host` and/or `server_name` instead of mucking with the environment directly.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
