This means that the default tmpdir() from File::Spec is used. On Linux this is the directory specified by TMPDIR, with a fallback to /tmp Is this OK on Windows? BTW, I was already asked whether po4a works on Windows, but I could not answer because of lack of such platform. Does po4a works on Windows? I expected some issues with the end of lines on windows.
