config/auto/perldoc.pm uses a hardcoded, local path for a temp file to
output perldoc -d to write to. perldoc also seems to use suid. So, if that
file or the local fs is not writeable, the test fails even if perldoc is
available. By changing the path to use "/tmp", at least, the test will
succeed. On *nix. Hmm .... Okay, I guess I need to find the OS agnostic
version of this.
