Arch::TempFiles - help to manage temporary files/dirs

Authors

       Mikhael Goikhman (migo@homemail.com--Perl-GPL/arch-perl--devel).

Bugs

       Awaiting for your reports.

Description

       This module deals with temporary file names. It is similar to File::Temp, but simplier and more focused.
       Also, File::Temp is relatively new and was not shipped with older perl versions.

       Both function interface and object oriented interface are supported.

Functions/Methods

       The following functions are available:

       temp_root, temp_name, temp_file_name, temp_dir_name, temp_file, temp_dir.

       The corresponding class methods are available too:

       root, name, file_name, dir_name, file, dir.

       temp_root [dir]
       $tmp->root [dir]
           Change  or  return  the  root of the temporary files and dirs. The default is either $ENV{TMP_DIR} or
           "/tmp".

       temp_name [label]
       $tmp->name [label]
           Return the unused temporary file name. The default file name is "/tmp/,,arch-XXXXXX" where XXXXXX  is
           a random number. To change this name use "temp_root" and/or provide label that replaces "arch".

           Please  note,  that  the  operation  of acquiring the file name using this function/method and actual
           creating of this file is not atomic. So you may need to call this method again  if  the  creation  is
           failed, for example if some other process created the same file in the middle.

       temp_file_name [label]
       $tmp->file_name [label]
           Like  "temp_name",  but  stores  the name in the file list that will be removed on the end (on object
           destruction).

       temp_dir_name [label]
       $tmp->dir_name [label]
           Like "temp_name", but stores the name in the dir list that will be removed  on  the  end  (on  object
           destruction).

       temp_file [label]
       $tmp->file [label]
           Like "temp_file_name", but also creates the file.

       temp_dir [label]
       $tmp->dir [label]
           Like "temp_dir_name", but also creates the dir.

Synopsis

           use Arch::TempFiles qw(temp_file_name temp_file temp_dir);
           # all will be removed automatically on the script completion
           my $file_name1 = temp_file();
           my $file_name2 = temp_file_name("status");
           my $dir_name = temp_dir("arch-tree");

           use Arch::TempFiles;
           my $tmp = new Arch::TempFiles;
           $tmp->root($tmp->dir);
           my $file_name = $tmp->name;
           open OUT, ">$file_name";
           close OUT;
