Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Running ppmrainbow followed by any colors causes it to throw an error when
attempting to create a temporary file
* What was the outcome of this action?
Use of uninitialized value $tmpdir in sprintf at /usr/bin/ppmrainbow.orig
line 58.
sh: 1: cannot create /000.ppm: Permission denied
* What outcome did you expect instead?
ppmrainbow to output a ppm file
Bug is caused by putting output from tempdir() in $tempdir, instead of expected
$tmpdir (note missing 'e' in latter).
See attached patch for fix.
