This exports a tool that helps you make a temporary directory, nested directories and text files within.

All subs are exported by default. gen_temp(file => 'content', subdir => [ sub_dir_file => 'content', ...], ...) gen_temp(-tempdir => \@TEMPDIR_ARGS, file => 'content', subdir => [ sub_dir_file => 'content', ...], ...) This will generate a new temporary directory with all the files and subdirs you specify, recursively. The initial temp directory is created using File::Temp::tempdir(), you may pass arguments to tempdir using the "-tempdir => [...]" argument.
