Petal is the template engine we use in CiderWebmail. Petal uses the
File::Spec module to determine the location of the temp/cache directory.

Currently the only way to change this location is to set the TMPDIR
environment variable to wherever you want them stored.

If and when Petal is updated to change this we could implement a
configuration option. For now I have created issue#28 to track this.

Both actually. If I remember correctly the bug has been fixed some time ago -
this will be included in the next release. I have also updated our
Petal configuration to disable the petal_debug dumps debugging is
disabled - see commit 2d7815da5e31b41357becdac6a579dbaad525bc1.
