How to change tmpdir of spamassassin?

I use spamassassin3.1.7. It uses tmp directory of root. Fuzzyocr uses it too. 

I want them to use different a place from /tmp dir.
How can I do that ?

Short version:
Like most other UNIX programs, set TMPDIR before running SA.

Long version:
SA ends up using File::Spec's tmpdir function, which for Unix will default
to either TMPDIR or /tmp.  See "perldoc File::Spec" for more info. :)
