Anyone got any good ideas on picking up a site-unique MAC secret. What I
need is something that won't change over server software upgrades, but
isn't hard coded. At the moment I've picked:
use Config;
my $secret = Config->myconfig;
(output of perl -V)
But it's sensitive to perl upgrades. I'm pretty certain there must be
_something_ I can use. I'm thinking perhaps of join('', `ls -la
$some_dir_created_on_install`), but again, the sysadmin could easily
inadvertently touch something in that dir.
