  -Use the File::Temp module, see L<File::Temp> for more information.
  +If you don't need to know the name of the file, you can use C<open()>
  +with C<undef> in place of the file name.  The C<open()> function
  +creates an anonymous temporary file.
  +
  +	open my $tmp, '+>', undef or die $!;
  +	
  +Otherwise, you can use the File::Temp module.
