Hi,

I have got a script to create a temp file using:

($fh, $filename) = tempfile(SUFFIX => '.vcf');

Now you can set the location directory of this file using:

(Toggle Plain Text)

$dir = tempdir( CLEANUP => 1 );
($fh, $filename) = tempfile( $template, DIR => $dir);

But that puts the temp file in a directory in the /tmp directory. Something like:

(Toggle Plain Text)

/tmp/Ir9usvCuAr/GykBOCKgOc

My question is how can I set a directory to hold these new temp files somewhere else in the file structure? Somewhere like /home/me/public_html/thisplace_here/

Thanks for any advice
