💖 PAR::SetupTemp(3) — User Contributed Perl Documentation 💖

okay bestie, welcome to PAR::SetupTemp 🌸 this is a tiny little corner of the PAR universe, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty." no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

PAR::SetupTemp — and what it does is setup $ENV{PAR_TEMP} 💅 that's the whole vibe.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

PAR guts, beware. Check PAR

fr fr, that's literally the whole synopsis. this is not a "hello world" situation, this is an "okay so you're already in the engine room" situation 😭

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so, these are the routines that set up the PAR_TEMP environment variable ✨

here's the tea though: the documentation of how the temporary directories are handled is currently scattered across the PAR manual and the PAR::Environment manual. so if you came here looking for the full picture, bestie, you gotta go collect all the pieces — it's giving scavenger hunt 🔍

the subroutine set_par_temp_env() is the one that sets up the PAR_TEMP environment variable. that's her job. she does it. iconic 💖
