This *used* to work for me, but it doesn't seem to any more, on Fedora
Core 5 if I add this to the apache conf file:

  # Petal cache files
  PerlSetEnv TMPDIR "/var/tmp/"
  SetEnv TMPDIR "/var/tmp/"

The cache files are still written to /tmp

I can confirm that the TMPDIR env is set by creating a .shtml file with
this in it:

  <pre>
    <!--#printenv -->
  </pre>

And when the .shtml file is accessed it has this value:

  TMPDIR=/var/tmp/

Has anyone else found this? Any suggestions about how to address this?
Perhaps Petal needs to have it's own env var for where cache and debug
files are written?
