Test::TempDir(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::TempDir(3pm) NAME
Test::TempDir - Temporary files support for testing. SYNOPSIS
use Test::TempDir; my $test_tempdir = temp_root(); my ( $fh, $file ) = tempfile(); my $directory_scratch_obj = scratch(); DESCRIPTION
Test::TempDir provides temporary directory creation with testing in mind. The differences between using this and using File::Temp are: o If "t/tmp" is available (writable, creatable, etc) it's preferred over $ENV{TMPDIR} etc. Otherwise a temporary directory will be used. This is "temp_root" o Lockfiles are used on "t/tmp", to prevent race conditions when running under a parallel test harness. o The "temp_root" is cleaned at the end of a test run, but not if tests failed. o "temp_root" is emptied at the begining of a test run unconditionally. o The default policy is not to clean the individual "tempfiles" and "tempdirs" within "temp_root", in order to aid in debugging of failed tests. EXPORTS
temp_root The root of the temporary stuff. tempfile tempdir Wrappers for the File::Temp functions of the same name. The default options are changed to use "temp_root" for "DIR" and disable "CLEANUP", but these are overridable. scrach Loads Directory::Scratch and instantiates a new one, with the same default options as "tempfile" and "tempdir".
