editting hosts file

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

Is there a clean interface via Perl to /etc/hosts?

I've been trying to use Config::Hosts, but it seems a little rough / unreliable. Just wondered if there's a better / easier way ... ???

Bonus points if it works on WIN32 as well.
