I had a similar problem on a sun box.
mktemp was installed but it does'nt work.
In this case it is not only mktemp (create a file) but "mktemp -d" (create a directory).
This needs a special systemcall that is not installed on my sun box.
So I changed this command to mkdir and wait for Johns changes when I can use perls mktemp modul.
