Bug #92581 for Parallel-ForkManager: Temporary directory remains - Change default behavior to auto-clean

Environment Information: Perl Version: 5.8.9 Parallel::ForkManager version: 1.0.5 Linux Kernel: 2.6.39.3 Linux Distribution: CRUX version 2.5 Issue: Temporary files are not removed from /tmp Underlying Cause: In ForkManager.pm, when a new instance is created, line 456 sets the auto_cleanup flag to 0 unless a temp directory is set: my $h={ max_proc => $processes, processes => {}, in_child => 0, parent_pid => $$, auto_cleanup => ($tempdir ? 1 : 0), }; Setting auto_cleanup to 0 prevents the Destroy function from deleting the temp directory that was created. Temporary Workaround: I've been setting auto_cleanup to 1 in my code. For instance: my $pm = new Parallel::ForkManager(); $pm->{auto_cleanup} = 1; Requested Solution: Default auto_cleanup to 1 in ForkManager.pm: my $h={ max_proc => $processes, processes => {}, in_child => 0, parent_pid => $$, auto_cleanup => 1, }; Tal Cohen Director of Special Projects [cid:image001.gif@01CF1D98.33A94700]<http://www.sitespect.com/> Tel: 617-859-1900, x705 Follow us on Twitter: @SiteSpect Please note that the information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
