NAME

Test::TempDir::Handle - A handle for managing a temporary directory root.

SYNOPSIS

        use Test::TempDir::Handle;
        my $h = Test::TempDir::Handle->new( dir => dir("t/tmp") );
        $h->empty;
        # ...
        $h->cleanup; # will delete on success by default

DESCRIPTION

This class manages a temporary directory.

ATTRIBUTES

dir
The Path::Class::Dir that is being managed.
lock
An optional lock object (File::NFSLock). Just kept around for reference counting.
cleanup_policy
One of "success", "always" or "never".
 
"success" means that "cleanup" deletes only if "test_builder" says the tests have passed.
test_builder
The Test::Builder singleton.

METHODS

empty
Cleans out the directory but doesn't delete it.
delete
Cleans out the directory and removes it.
cleanup
Calls "delete" if the "cleanup_policy" dictates to do so.
 
This is normally called automatically at destruction.
