Umh, what does it provide beyond what File::Temp (which is in the
standard library) already does? 

$ perl -e 'use File::Temp; $f=File::Temp->new(TEMPLATE=>"FooBarXXXX", DIR=>"/tmp", SUFFIX=>".foo"); print $f->filename,"\n";'
/tmp/FooBarM1Xo.foo

File::Temp not only creates unique strings, but also automatically
handles the file or directory creation and remotion.
