SYNOPSIS

use File::Temp qw/ tempfile tempdir /;

$fh = tempfile();
($fh, $filename) = tempfile();

($fh, $filename) = tempfile( $template, DIR => $dir);
($fh, $filename) = tempfile( $template, SUFFIX => '.dat');
($fh, $filename) = tempfile( $template, TMPDIR => 1 );

binmode( $fh, ":utf8" );

$dir = tempdir( CLEANUP => 1 );
($fh, $filename) = tempfile( DIR => $dir );
Object interface:
require File::Temp;
use File::Temp ();
use File::Temp qw/ :seekable /;

$fh = File::Temp->new();
$fname = $fh->filename;

$fh = File::Temp->new(TEMPLATE => $template);
$fname = $fh->filename;

$tmp = File::Temp->new( UNLINK => 0, SUFFIX => '.dat' );
print $tmp "Some datan";
print "Filename is $tmpn";
$tmp->seek( 0, SEEK_END );
The following interfaces are provided for compatibility with existing APIs. They should not be used in new code.
MkTemp family:
use File::Temp qw/ :mktemp /;

($fh, $file) = mkstemp( "tmpfileXXXXX" );
($fh, $file) = mkstemps( "tmpfileXXXXXX", $suffix);

$tmpdir = mkdtemp( $template );

$unopened_file = mktemp( $template );
POSIX functions:
use File::Temp qw/ :POSIX /;

$file = tmpnam();
$fh = tmpfile();

($fh, $file) = tmpnam();
Compatibility functions:
$unopened_file = File::Temp::tempnam( $dir, $pfx );
