HI, Using ::Smart may not be so smart
I have no idea for the module name but one or two about the functionality it coold offer. IMO, a module just for that functionality, although, welcome, is over the edge. maybe adding some functionality could make it worth istalling. i also wonder if there isn't another loggin module where your functionality could added. Other things that could be added: template to add information to the file name my $fh = temp_file("%M %S %s %d", 'some_text', $index) or die ... automatic addition of content within the file information about the call stack information about time or the number of iteration File::Temp::FromContext ... my less than 2 cents Nadim +++ Robert Rothenberg [Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 09:23:50PM +0100]: > While debugging a project that generated a lot of temporary files, I came > upon a nifty idea: rather than name the temporary files the usual random > strings, why not have the files named by the method/function that created > them, e.g. instead of something like /tmp/Hf6254d85.txt, why not call it > /tmp/Some_Package_Name/text_analysing_function-Hf6254d85.txt. > > Anyhow, I think this might be something worth uploading to CPAN. > > So what should it be called? > > I was thinking of something like File::Temp::Smart, for lack of a better > name.
