Test::TempDir provides temporary directory creation with testing in mind. The differences between using this and using File::Temp are: * 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 * Lockfiles are used on t/tmp, to prevent race conditions when running under a parallel test harness. * The temp_root is cleaned at the end of a test run, but not if tests failed. * temp_root is emptied at the begining of a test run unconditionally. * The default policy is not to clean the individual tempfiles and tempdirs within temp_root, in order to aid in debugging of failed tests.
