Subject: abandon Sys::Hostname::FQDN
I could not get this installed on my Debian 4 box because Sys::Hostname::FQDN would not compile. Then I saw that all it's used for is getting the short hostname, which has been in the core since perl 5 with Sys::Hostname. If it's a speed issue, it could be cached when the Backup object is created and then cached, becoming a blip. It's a shame that this unmaintained module, FQDN, could be blocking other people from using the excellent and clearly maintained Net::Flickr::Backup. -- rjbs
This has been checked in version 2.97 which will be released to the CPAN shortly.
