I've found the best thing is often to give yourself a temp directory and then work inside that. I usually use File::Temp and tempdir( CLEANUP => 1) (Or File::pushd and tempd() for a lexical approach). Though even that can have some problems on some systems depending on what versions of File::Temp and File::Path are in use. David
