./devel/p5-Test-TempDir, Temporary files support for testing

Branch: pkgsrc-2010Q1, Version: 0.05nb1, Package name: p5-Test-TempDir-0.05nb1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Test::TempDir provides temporary directory creation with testing in mind.

The differences between using this and using File::Temp are:

* If t/tmp is available (writable, creatable, etc) it's preferred
over $ENV{TMPDIR} etc. Otherwise a temporary directory will be
used.
This is temp_root
* Lockfiles are used on t/tmp, to prevent race conditions when
running under a parallel test harness.
* The temp_root is cleaned at the end of a test run, but not
if tests failed.
* temp_root is emptied at the begining of a test run unconditionally.
* The default policy is not to clean the individual tempfiles
and tempdirs within temp_root, in order to aid in debugging of
failed tests.
