I just got a failure report from David Golden as this line did not work with "Permission denied"
copy($0, "$0.tmp") He was running it on Windows (Strawberry Perl). I am sure I create temporary files in various test, so it might be the right time to streamline them. So what is the recommended place for temporary files and directories that I can expect to be writable? Should I just use File::Tempdir ?
