Perl script error "CGI open of tmpfile: Permission denied" on Windows hosting.

Perl script error "CGI open of tmpfile: Permission denied"

With perl for windows sometimes the TMPDIR environment variable does not get set to the correct value. To work around this issue you can set the TMPDIR variable to be the same as TEMP using code similar to that shown below. 
BEGIN { if ($^O =~ /MSWin32/i) { $ENV{'TMPDIR'}=$ENV{'TEMP'}; } } use CGI;
