dir_unlink_on_destroy

Toggle or query whether a File::Temp::Dir object removes its directory tree on destruction.

Synopsis

my $flag = $dir->unlink_on_destroy;         # getter
$dir->unlink_on_destroy(0);                 # keep the tree

What you get back

The new (or current) cleanup flag as an integer.

Examples

my $dir = File::Temp->newdir;
$dir->unlink_on_destroy(0);

## $dir's path survives after $dir goes out of scope

Edge cases

• Called on something that is not a File::Temp::Dir: returns 0.

• Writes to the object’s CLEANUP hash slot; reads by other code see the updated value.

Differences from upstream

Fully compatible with upstream File::Temp 0.2312.
