The problem is that StdMacros is called by PG_CAPAmacros.pl and it doesn't know
where the current tempDirectory is -- it's used to using the full path as
defined in 
localOverrides in the PG special variables.

One solution is this in IO.pm

sub read_whole_file {
    my $filePath = shift;

    die "File path $filePath is unsafe." 
        unless path_is_course_subdir($filePath);
    my $templateDirectory = eval('$main::templateDirectory'); #get current
directory
    local (*INPUT);
    open(INPUT, "<$templateDirectory/$filePath") || die "$0: read_whole_file
subroutine: <BR>Can't read file $templateDirectory/$filePath";
    local($/)=undef;
    my $string = <INPUT>;  # can't append spaces because this causes trouble
with <<'EOF'   \nEOF construction
    close(INPUT);
    \$string;
}

we'll have a permanent solution in 2.11
