Robert,
If the permission on the folder pointed to by $TEMP is going to be changed
during install, it seems to me it would be done by setup.exe. If not, where
would that operation be performed?
It looks like chmod doesn't cut it:
markm at fatboy ~
$ ls -ld $TEMP
d---rwx---+ 7 Administ SYSTEM 16384 Apr 5 00:10
/cygdrive/c/WINNT/TEMP
markm at fatboy ~
$ chmod +rw $TEMP
markm at fatboy ~
$ ls -ld $TEMP
drw-rwxr--+ 7 Administ SYSTEM 16384 Apr 5 00:10
/cygdrive/c/WINNT/TEMP
markm at fatboy ~
$ perldoc perldoc
Error in tempfile() using /XXXXXXXXXX: Parent directory (/) is not writable
