Every PERL tool use temporary files.
If you want your code can be simply portable on different OS, you need
to select the correct tempory directory (the other solution is to use
../ directory).
The purpose of this module is to automathize the configuration of the
temporary directory in every OS supported by PERL.
We need your help.
We ask you to send us the correct tempory directory for every OS
supported by PERL and to suggest us good modifies
<[email-masked]>).

At the moment this is the list of OS supported:
Windows 32 bit ('95, '98, NT) c:/temp/ (or c:/windows/temp/)
AIX Solaris IRIX Linux        /tmp/
Mac                           /desktop folder/temp/
OpenVMS                       /sys\$scratch/ (or SYS\$SCRATCH)

If the module can't recognize your OS the temporary directory is set to
../

Use testtmpdir.pl to test the module on your OS and testOS.pl to know
the value of $^O PERL variable on your OS.
