Re: Re: Conflicting usage recommendations: File::Temp and File::Copy

I fear you misinterpret my use of the word 'contadictory'. The warnings are contradictory merely in the context of attempting to use the modules together in the way I describe; under such circumstances you cannot heed both.

Howdy! True...given your particular usage, you can't slavishly heed both, but you can make a mature decision which warning is superfluous in your specific situation. (did I use enough big words? :)) yours, Michael	[reply]

... which was the decision I was looking for advice on :) Though there doesn't seem to be a total consensus as to which way to call this; in light of people's resopnses, my instincts are inclining towards the usage of filenames. In fact, I am beginning to wonder if relying on POSIX functions is A Good Thing. Perhaps File::Temp::PurePerl might be a good idea?	[reply]
