[ID 20010806.014] Test lib/io_xs fails for perl 5.6.1 on NT

Hi.

The test lib/io_xs comes through on my NT box only when I run it
as administrator.  Using a filemonitor I would guess that this is
because IO::File::new_tmpfile tries to create a temporary file in
the root directory c:\, which is write-accessible for
administrators only on my system.

Maybe IO::File::new_tmpfile should evaluate some environment
variable to get a path to a directory which is intended for
temporary files, and, in particular, guaranteed to be
world-writable.

Regards

Jens
