I am using File::Temp to create a temp test directory and I clean up afterwards. Have a look at https://github.com/klaus03/File-Vctools/blob/master/t/0010_test.t >> use File::Temp qw(tempdir); >> >> my ($cwd, ... ); >> >> preparations(); The interesting lines are in sub preparations starting at line 1130 >> sub preparations { >> $cwd = cwd(); >> [...] >> $tempdir = tempdir(CLEANUP => 1); END { chdir $cwd if defined $cwd; } >> [...] >> } I use CLEANUP => 1 and I also make sure (by using the END {...} clause) that I chdir out of the temp dir before cleanup (that's important on windows systems)
