There's the good ol'  which has a `tmpdir` function. On Unix it
looks at `TMPDIR` environment variable before falling back to `/tmp`.
 uses this for its `tempdir` when a template is not specified.

Then there's  which tries a little harder. On Unix, its
`get_tempdir` will look at `TMPDIR`, then also `TEMPDIR`, `TMP`, `TEMP`. If none
of those are set, it will return the first existing directory from the list:
`/tmp`, `/var/tmp`. If everything fails, will die.

File::Util::Tempdir also provides `get_user_tempdir` which returns a
user-private temporary directory, which can be useful if you want to create
temporary file with predetermined names. It will return temporary directory
pointed by `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` (e.g. `/run/user/1000`) or, if unavailable, will
create a subdirectory under the world-writable temporary directory (e.g.
`/tmp/1000`).
