Thanks, applied to bleedperl as change #22255, except for the following:
Many systems don't have a /var/run directory, or it is only writeable by root;
so in the following files I didn't change the examples from '/tmp/foo'
to '/var/run/foo'; instead I changed them to just 'foo' or '/some/path/foo'
as appropriate:
ext/DB_File/DB_File.pm
ext/Storable/Storable.pm
lib/CGI/Cookie.pm
pod/perldbmfilter.pod
ext/ODBM_File/ODBM_File.xs
changed "/nonexistent" to "/non/exist/ent" -less likelyhood of the
file actually being created, eg by a bug in the script
lib/CGI.pm
I didn't apply this!
+# XXX: The temporary file handling implemented in here is crap. It should
+# be re-done making use of File::Temp.
lib/CPAN.pm
didn't apply this:
# If more accuracy is wanted/needed, Chris Leach sent me this patch...

lib/ExtUtils/instmodsh
it no longer uses the tmp file it creates, so I just removed the
$tmp = "/tmp/inst.$$"
line instead.
lib/perl5db.pl
pod/perldebug.pod
rather than changing the tty file from /tmp/perldbtty$$ to
/var/run/perldbtty$$, I changed it to .perldbtty$$
Note that this is a user-visible change.
utils/perlbug.PL
This is designed to run on old 5.005 syststems, and as such it can't
rely on File::Temp, so I didn't apply this one.
