Comment (by ballapete):

 File::Temp and File:Spec actually work as expected. With an extended
 version of the wrapper shell script `convert`

 it could be shown that a temporary sub-directory in ${workpath}/.tmp *is*
 created on `PPC Tiger`. And that `convert.orig` fails to create a test
 TIFF file therein, see attached file.

 It also fails to run that convert test command manually from root's
 account: `su macports -c convert.orig …`, with or without a shell after
 `-c` or  with or without the complete path name of convert.orig.

 Interestingly Tiger is the only system that allows pstree to work and
 "spy" after root's processes…
