Yes, quite likely.

This sounds like a good workaround -- maybe configure the Windows  
buildslave with the environment variable TMP="c:\tmp" and see if Perl  
uses that variable.

Another would be to install a Windows version of Perl, but I'm loathe  
to mess with such things.

Another would be to rewrite that test into sh, which seems to be the  
trend.  :-)
