From matt@sergeant.org

Created by matt@sergeant.org

Please ignore the system spec below - this is a bug for Win32 (up
to and including perl-current).

File​::Spec uses the following for obtaining the tmpdir value​:

$ENV{TMPDIR} || $ENV{TEMP} || $ENV{TMP} || '/tmp'

(or code to that effect)

By default, Windows NT does not define the above environment
variables for the user account that runs services. So the default
of /tmp gets used. Since the current directory might be on any of
the available drives, /tmp could mean multiple things - causing bad
things to happen.

I suggest changing this selection to​:

$ENV{TMPDIR} || $ENV{TEMP} || $ENV{TMP} || $ENV{WINDIR} || 'C​:/temp'

Which is what MS Developer studio apparently uses (so I've heard).

Since it also uses -d to see if the directory exists, you can just
add "C​:/temp" to the list of directories that are used. The code I
see is​:

  foreach (@​ENV{qw(TMPDIR TEMP TMP)}, qw(/tmp /)) {

So it could be​:

  foreach (@​ENV{qw(TMPDIR TEMP TMP)}, qw(/tmp C​:/temp /)) {
