On HP-UX and AIX I see two annoying leftovers on the system after smoke
runs. That does not happen on Linux
1. On /tmp (or $TMPDIR) there are a lot of folders that have a subfolder
"testdir"
$ cd /tmp
$ rm -rf ??????????/testdir
$ rmdir ??????????
2. Shared memory is not cleaned up, causing the resources to run out
$ ipcs -ma |\
perl -nE'm/^m\s+(\d+)\s.*merijn\s+[a-z]+\s+0\s/ and say "-m $1"' |\
xargs ipcrm

In subsequent discussion in that thread and on IRC, we diagnosed the
problem to dist/PathTools/t/cwd_enoent.t. This test file ends with a
chdir into a tempdir created by File::Temp::tempdir(CLEANUP => 1) --
unusual, but necessary (as I found out during debugging) to exercise the
point of the whole test file. Nonetheless, that "dangling" temporary
directory is not getting cleaned up upon exit on certain platforms.
Tux proposes the patch attached, which apparently resolves the problems
on the platforms he's concerned about and does no harm on Linux.
Available for smoking in branch smoke-me/jkeenan/tux/cwd_enoent.
Since we're in code freeze, I'm posting an RT and requesting permission
to apply it to blead.
Thank you very much.
