Pulling another all-nighter and am gettin' some unwanted behavior from File::Temp.. Anyone know what I'm missing?

OS is FreeBSD 6.2, PERL is 5.8.8, if that matters

Here is code which reproduces this unwanted behavior: 
use strict;
use File::Temp q/tempfile/;


for(my $i=0;$i<50;$i++)
{
  my $tmp = new File::Temp('DIR' => '/tmp', 'UNLINK' => 1);
  sleep(1);
}

What is going on is that as this script runs I can run "ls -l /tmp" and see the files being created and destroyed. But as soon as I hit ctrl-C to quit, the last temp file it created is still hanging around (otherwise known as the "unwanted behavior").

I would note that removing 'UNLINK' => 1 from the constructor, or using the my ($fh, $filename) = tempname('DIR' => '/tmp', 'UNLINK' => 1); produces the same result. The only reason I changed it from that was in an attempt to debug what is going on.
