+File::Temp - provides functions for generating temporary files
+
+This module can be used to generate temporary files (providing a filename
+and filehandle) or directories.
+Possible race conditions are avoided and some security checks are performed
+(eg making sure the sticky bit is set on world writeable temp directories).
+
+It could be considered to be in a beta state since it has only been
+tested on six operating systems.
