Subject: "CGI open of tmpfile: No such file or directory\n"
I found a problem with upload of attachments using apache2, mod_perl2 and bugzilla running on Windows. If I run apache as a service, CGItemp# files are correctly created and read in c:\windows\temp, but if I run apache from the command line/terminal, upload of attachments doesn't work (PS: only when using mod_perl): now it (CGI.pm) (tries to) reads CGItemp# files from C:\DOCUME~1\monster\LOCALS~1\Temp folder (the folder exists, no problem), but it never creates/writes the temp files!? (found out using Sysinternals FileMonitor). Workaround was to set fixed temp dir: $CGITempFile::TMPDIRECTORY = 'c:/temp'; It took a long time for me to figure this out. Please fix so the next guy doesn't won't have to figure out:-) Bug exists in at least 3.41 and 3.48. I can assist if you need me:-)

Thanks for the report. A patch would be welcome that offers a solution that would work for all Windows users. I'm not a Windows user myself and won't plan to attempt one. Mark

Unfortunately I'm no Perl coder. But I trialed and errored and think I found the cause: doesn't seem to work if the path contains ~ (tilde). AFAIK, this is a legal file name/path char in linux as well, so you may be able to reproduce by setting TMPDIR to something containing ~. Regards, Gunnar

The regex m!^([a-zA-Z0-9_ \'\":/.\$\\\+-]+)$! doesn't allow ~. Changing them (used 2 places) to m!^([a-zA-Z0-9_ \'\":/.\$\\\+-~]+)$! makes it work (tested). Since ~ is allowed both in Windows and Linux it should be safe? But I don't understand why the regex are there, the file system will give an error if the file name is invalid, no need to check (unless I am missing something).

Rejecting on the grounds that ~ is a shell meta character for a user's homedir: $CGITempFile::TMPDIRECTORY = '~root'; # oops CGITempFile may be refactored at a later stage to use File::Temp, at which point this issue will probably be solved. Given this is a 4 year old bug and the original issue relates to even older filesystems i'm erring on the side of "won't fix". Thanks!
