The spirit of the module is to create a file that is for use by your process only and will not be used by any other processes. The file is typically removed when your process finishes. There must be some variable component to the filename so the module can find a file name that does not already exist. If you need to use a well-known file name (e.g. for a lock file to coordinate between processes), you should just use the standard open() or sysopen() functions. If you want to know what the OS considers the "temp" directory to be, you can use File::Spec->tmpdir() -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
