Temp file in Perl

Use the following to generate a temporary file in Perl:


use File::Temp;
my $fh = tempfile;

print $fh "temp data";


Also, this finds the directory of the Perl script being executed:


use FindBin;
my $program_dir = $FindBin::Bin;



This, and some other useful Perl things, are found here:
