I hope we're exclusively using the "t/_tmp$$" if only for the sake of
parallelizable tests. Please point-out anything you've seen that does
otherwise.
This should, I think, mean that we never reuse a temp directory. Though
perhaps within a single test file, but that could be solved with more
granularity. In theory, simply not cleaning-up the temp directories
would not be a problem unless the pid repeats. (Except where we're
actually testing for having deleted files, which could (yes) be
skipped.)
And should we should instead be using File::Temp's tempdir anyway?
Thanks,
Eric
