    I'm not sure if I completely understand your question, but it seems to me that you can open a new file and store the text in that file: 
    open(TEXT, ">textfile") or die "$!";
.
.
.
print TEXT $some_text_line;
.
.
.
close(TEXT);

    If you really want to have temporary files, take a look at POSIX::tmpnam], IO::File::new_tmpfile or File::Temp.

    use IO::Handle::new_tmpfile();

      IO::Handle doesn't have a method new_tmpfile, you probably meant IO::File::new_tmpfile().
