[Bioperl-l] PAML files

[Jason Stajich]

They are temporary names so they are deliberately random and there is  
no intention of you needing them after a run since it to be cleaned  
up on the fly. We use an internal method for generating tempfiles  
that takes care of cleanup afterwards.  I suppose since we do all the  
work within a temp directory that is cleaned up, one could have a  
fixed name for the tree, alignment, and ctl files but honestly we  
never expect people to be reading these filenames as they are  
intended to be transient.

What problem are you having that you need the filename?
