This might be a stupid question, but i have a small issue with JavaScript::Duktape which uses Inline::C.

I want to set the build directory "_Inline" to some other path, so i don't have build directories littered all over the place on my development system. The docs for Inline.pm say to set the PERL_INLINE_DIRECTORY environment variable. I assumed i could just set it in a BEGIN block before use of the Duktape module. But i can't get it to work.

BEGIN {
    #mkdir '/tmp/pagecamel_helpers_javascript_inline';
    $ENV{PERL_INLINE_DIRECTORY} = '/tmp/pagecamel_helpers_javascript_i
+nline';
    use JavaScript::Duktape;
};

I thought this would just set the environment variable, load JavaScript::Duktape (with the variable still intact) which in turn does all the Inline::C magic. Am i doing something incredible stupid here?

Disclaimer: I know that using /tmp is insecure. This will get a proper logic where to place the directory securely. I'm just using /tmp because it simplifies the proof of concept.

perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'
