[kw-pm] how to tell a perl script not to use /tmp?

[Robert P. J. Day]

   help ... my perl is exceedingly rusty, and i want to be
able to modify a program to use something other than /tmp
for a temp directory.

   the (template for the) script is here:

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/client-side/svncopy/svncopy.pl.in

and, sadly, it appears to insist on using /tmp for its
temporary work, but on the system i am forced to use, /tmp
is 99% full.  can someone show me how to modify that script
to use, say, ~/tmp instead?  thanks.
