Is this reasonable behavior? Well, there is a new feature in perl-5.8.1 similar to autotools DESTDIR, but it wasn't available with perl 5.8.0, since there are many hardcoded paths it is really a mess to install in a separate directory, you need to fix it all up and make a tarball then. > It appears that Cygwin doesn't support the creation and opening > of a temporary file to avoid a race condition as intended by the > File::Temp::tempfile function.

II never saw problems like this and I have not more than two or three tests failing (usually), so I suggest that something must be the cuplprit, but not Perl.
