This is a bug report for perl from hs@schlittermann.de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
# perl -MFile::Temp -e 'print $File::Temp::VERSION, "\n"';
# 0.16

>From perldoc File::Temp:
    ...
   Object interface:

         require File::Temp;
         use File::Temp ();

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

         $tmp = new File::Temp( UNLINK => 0, SUFFIX => ’.dat’ );
         print $tmp "Some data\n";
         print "Filename is $tmp\n";
    ...


The marked line is clearly wrong.  Some paragraphs later an other usage is explained:

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