Hrmmm, while your approach has merit, it doesn't really address the dogma that surrounds the more general issue of usage of temporary files in Perl - The movement of application temporary file generation into (presumably) owner-only writable directories makes a number of assumptions about the application platform:
Additionally, the use of function library calls for common tasks such as temporary file creation and utilisation offer greater cross-platform portability for applications with the differences in platform structure implemented within the library rather than the application code.
perl -e 's&&rob@cowsnet.com.au&&&split/[@.]/&&s&.com.&_&&&print'
