SA doesn't use this module directly, so consider it dropped :) It's used by Mail::SPF::Query, maybe Net::DNS but I don't remember. What should happen is the author of Sys::Hostname::Long should fix the issue, then the author of Mail::SPF::Query should require the version of Sys::Hostname::Long with the issue fixed. Since we don't require the Mail::SPF::Query module to be installed, we can't require a certain version, but in INSTALL we can recommend using a specific version which will in turn make sure that the Sys::Hostname::Long issue is fixed. Michael BTW: Hardcoding a hostname as part of a module install is unwise (think installs that run on multiple systems either via package install or global NFS mounts)
