Of course. This is something we should do before 2.0, but it's quite
some work to do it right, -- repeating the audit of 5.8+ for unsafe
temporary file handling issues as I know our fixes didn't get in (we
did submit, but they were not quick enough to review our patches while
Perl development continued and patches became outdated).
P.S. Please post to the list with a fixed envelope-from address, or
I'd have to approve each of your postings manually.
