OpenBSD::MkTemp - Perl access to mkstemps() and mkdtemp()

  use OpenBSD::MkTemp;
  my($fh, $file) = mkstemp("/tmp/fooXXXXXXXXXX");
  use OpenBSD::MkTemp qw(mkdtemp mkstemps);
  my $dir_name = mkdtemp("/tmp/dirXXXXXXXXXX");
  my ($fh, $file) = mkstemps("/tmp/fileXXXXXXXXXX", ".tmp");

This module provides routines for creating files and directories with guaranteed unique names, using the C mkstemps() and mkdtemp() routines.

mkstemp() and mkstemps() must be called with a template argument that is writable, so that they can update it with the path of the generated file. They return normal perl IO handles.

mkdtemp() simply takes the template and returns the path of the newly created directory.

EXPORT

  $fh = mkstemp($template)


  $fh = mkstemps($template, $suffix_len)
  $dir = mkdtemp($template);
