I remember having a problem connect to some sites when my FQDN wasn't
specified in my hosts file. I think that web browsers send that name, and
that some web servers need it. I didn't know what my real FQDN was so I
made up the first part of the name: i.e. <whatever>.clipper.net.
my @euglugCode = qw(v++ e? eug+ bsd? gnu++ S+);
