Like you point out, a, if $fh is used instead of TMP, I lose $filehandle as soon as $fh is closed. So how can I unlink0 with no $filehandle without generating "Use of uninitialized value @ /usr/local/lib/site_perl/File?Temp.pm line (1525|1584), <STDIN> chunk 1" ?
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use File::Temp qw(tempfile unlink0 );
use vars qw($fh $filename);
my $template = 'fileXXXXXXXXXX';
my $dir = '/tmp/';
($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, DIR => $dir)
or die "Error creating $filename: $!";
print $fh "\nS'working?\n"
or die "Error writing to $filename: $!";
close $fh
or die "Error closing $filename: $!";
print "\nUnlinking $filename\n<ENTER> to continue, CTRL+C to abort.\n"
+;
my $continue = (<STDIN>);
unlink0 ($fh, $filename)
or die "Error unlinking file $filename safely: $!"
I wouldn't be surprised if it's explained in the module's pod and I'm just not picking up on it.

Update: Good monk a says below "not supposed to close $fh... unlink0 will handle..."
A-ha! that seems to do the trick. 8^)
Update #2: But if I don't "close $fh" then "print $fh "\nS'working?\n" or die;" doesn't really happen. So I'm still doing something wrong 8^(

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
