[Bioperl-l] StandAloneBlast.pm, bl2seq() and tempfiles on Win32/cygwin

[Brian Osborne]

Marc,

That worked!

So this is the fix for Cygwin, provided some other application, driven by
Perl and using those modules, expects to see Unix-style paths. I'll note in
INSTALL.WIN that this is the workaround but that since other apps in Bioperl
and Cygwin may suffer, one might want to set this in a script.

Setting the environment variable TMPDIR should work. It is used by
File::Spec::Unix and File::Spec::Win32
