Subject: File::Temp: error msg for parent directory
Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2007 12:41:44 +0100
To: <perlbug@perl.org>
From: "Dintelmann, Peter" <Peter.Dintelmann@Dresdner-Bank.com>
This is a bug report for perl from Peter.Dintelmann@dresdner-bank.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.
The error message
$ perl -MFile::Temp=tempfile -e 'tempfile DIR => "/nosuch"'
Error in tempfile() using /nosuch/XXXXXXXXXX: Parent directory
(/nosuch/) is not a directory at -e line 1
seems strange to me because it states that "/nosuch/" is a directory
and that it is not a directory.
Maybe we can simply change it to "'/nosuch/' does not exist or is not
a directory".
