Transaction: Ticket created by SWMCD
Queue: PAR-Packer
Subject: pp creates par-<user>/ in /, not /tmp
Broken in: 1.001
Severity: Normal
Owner: Nobody
Requestors: sw...@cpan.org
Status: new
Ticket <URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=52407 >
pp tries to create the par-<user> directory in /, instead of /tmp
If you happen to be root, it succeeds, but cluttering / with tmp dirs is
poor practice. If you aren't root, it fails for lack of write on /.
I tried a reinstall via cpan, and saw the same failure in the unit tests:
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"
"test_harness(0, 'inc', 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/00-pod.t
t/10-parl-generation.t t/20-pp .t t/30-current_exec.t
t/40-packer_cd_option.t
t/00-pod.t ............... skipped: Set environment variable
PERL_TEST_POD=1 to test POD
t/10-parl-generation.t ... ok

t/30-current_exec.t ...... 2/4
# Failed test 'Respected PAR_GLOBAL_TMPDIR'
# at t/30-current_exec.t line 46.
I backed down to 0.991 and the problem went away.
