in reply to weird behavior of creating a temp dir by File::Temp

File::Temp does not use CLEANIP, but it does use CLEANUP. Change: 
   my $dir = tempdir(CLEANIP=>1);

to: 

   my $dir = tempdir(CLEANUP=>1);

    That's funny, but it's exactly the kind of bug that's hard to spot in your own code... I'm sure the OP's brain saw that as "CLEANUP" every time.

    Sounds like an argument for Method::Signatures: 

    #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Method::Signatures;

func foo(:$CLEANUP)
{
    print "I will".($CLEANUP?"":" not")." clean up\n";
}

foo(CLEANIP => 1);

    results in 
    $ perl testSignatures.pl 
In call to main::foo(), does not take CLEANIP as named argument(s) at testSignatures.pl line 13.

    Thank you guys

    It's such a stupid bug!

    As Mike said, in my eyes, it was always "CLEANUP". Maybe my brain was short-circuited somehow.
