Hi,
After running the test suite with mp1.28 on Windows I find that I have a temporary file left behind in my temp dir (in my case, C:\Temp).
This happens because the filehandle is left open. The attached patch closes it, and the file gets deleted automatically later.
I suppose we can/should do that, but isn't it a responsibility of CGI.pm to do that?
-private_tempfiles
CGI.pm can process uploaded file. Ordinarily it spools the uploaded
file to a temporary directory, then deletes the file when done.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I remember this was a bug in the older CGI.pm versions, which was fixed long time ago. I can't reproduce it with CGI 2.97.
I'm running CGI.pm 2.97 too. I've had similar trouble with other software that I've written. It may be a Windows-specific thing:
"On Unix systems, the -private_tempfiles pragma will cause the temporary file to be unlinked as soon as it is opened and before any data is written into it ..."
