Re: invoke tempdir() failed

After I invoke $temp_dir = tempdir();, the corresponding temporary directory can not be found inside /tmp

What do you mean by that?

Apart from that, the invocation of `mkdir testDir` also failed.

Failed how?

Have you run into this issue before ?

Ever heard of chroot jail?

Ideally, when the tempdir() is called, a temporary directory like /tmp/vIpIrMQg5r would be created. The question is that I can't find the /tmp/vIpIrMQg5r after calling tempdir(). Generally, user would invoke the function to create a directory from Microsoft IE. Is there any privilege issue regarding to the apache ?	[reply]

Lets try again :) When you say After I invoke $temp_dir = tempdir();, the corresponding temporary directory can not be found inside /tmp How do you know the corresponding temporary can not be found inside /tmp?	[reply]

I tried to use 'ls -l /tmp/newly_created_dir' to find the directory, but failed.	[reply]

Guys, I guess the problem would be how to keep the directory, which is created by tempdir(), instead of automatically cleaning it up.	[reply]

Since the tempdir function does not automatically clean up temporary directories it creates, the problem isn't with tempdir Maybe you want to specify an alternate directory to tempdir, like File::HomeDir	[reply]
