| Subject: | Pod::HtmlTree fails under Win32: There is no directory /tmp |
The tests and the module itself fail under Win32, as the directory for tempfiles is hardcoded and "/tmp" does not generally exist under that name on Win32.
The solution is to use File::Temp qw(tempfile) in the sub pod2htmltree():
use File::Temp qw(tempfile);
...
sub pod2htmltree {
my ($fh,$tmpfile) = tempfile;
...
# print output directly to $fh
};
A tested very crude but minimal patch is to change line 128ff as follows :
#my $tmpfile = "/tmp/PodHtmlTree.$$";
use File::Temp qw(tempfile);
my ($fh,$tmpfile) = tempfile;
close $fh;
Here is the output of the failing "nmake test" and the failing test itself :
