  Sun May 06 16:24:33 2007 ANDK [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Subject: Using predictable filename in /tmp
t/1....Unlink of existing share file /tmp/sharefile failed: Operation not permitted at /home/sand/.cpan/build/Cache-FastMmap-1.14-nXOw2s/blib/lib/Cache/FastMmap.pm line 496. Using predictable filenames in /tmp has some security implications too, so should be avoided. In this case it simply causes the test to fail because another user has occupied this file or directory.

I've released 1.15 which by default uses a sharefile of: /tmp/sharefile.$pid.$time Which should be unique in most cases, and definitely avoid this problem in the common case.
