You should not forget to check, if the file creation was successful. If you don't have permission to create the file and you don't check that, your check for existence might lead to a wrong conclusion!

You should not forget to check, if the file creation was successful. If I use `File::Temp::tempfile`, this throws an exception if it can't create the file, so checking must be done by wrapping it into an eval block and testing `$@` afterwards. -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l] [select]
