Sys::Hostname does not take any arguments anymore

Question

Sys::Hostname does not take any arguments anymore

Closed this issue 7 years ago · 2 comments

Starting with perl 5.27.5, Sys::Hostname::hostname dies if called with extra arguments. This also happens if the hostname function is called as a class method (Sys::Hostname->hostname). This actually happens in CGI::Info.
