I can't get what I'd consider proper behavior when creating temporary files with IO::All. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use IO::All;
my $temp_file = io('?');
"foo" > $temp_file;

During execution I get the following fatal error... 
Can't call method "print" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/site
+_perl/5.8.3/IO/All.pm line 618.

I believe I'm following the documentation correctly, so I would expect the file to be writable. However, I don't even think a temporary file is being created.

Also, anyone know if it's possible to give IO::All a tempfile template like "/tmp/foo_XXXXXX" ala File::Temp::tempfile()?
