VERSION

MODULE LISTS

Getting system-wide temporary directory in a portable way

There's the good ol' File::Spec which has a tmpdir function. On Unix it looks at TMPDIR environment variable before falling back to /tmp. File::Temp uses this for its tempdir when a template is not specified.

Then there's File::Util::Tempdir which tries a little harder. On Unix, its get_tempdir will look at TMPDIR, then also TEMPDIR, TMP, TEMP. If none of those are set, it will return the first existing directory from the list: /tmp, /var/tmp. If everything fails, will die.

• File::Spec

• File::Util::Tempdir
