  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description     : Make temporary filename from template

File::MkTemp and File::MkTempO provides functions to create unique strings
for use as file/directory names based on an user specified template.


The package would be very useful for Nagios/Icinga-Installations
using the optional Kerberos-Check-Plugin from
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Security/check_krb5/details

This plugin is implemented in Perl and needs File::MkTemp which
is not in Debian yet.

As this is a fairly simple package I intend to maintain it by
myself for a start. Joining the Debian Perl Group would be an
option for later.

Thanks both of you for pointing that out. Sorry, I never bothered
to look into these details. It was in fact trivial to patch the
nagios plugin.

I guess it makes no sense to package the perl module, so I'm closing
this bug. Thanks again!

 Regards,

  Raoul
