It depends on what the special layer was. For example if I could write:
binmode($fh, ":text");
And have it do the right thing on all systems, it'd be an okay solution. Of course, the best place to fix this is still in File::Temp, because teaching the students that they'll need two commands isn't quite as cool as just giving them one.
I've looked at the File::Temp code, and it looks pretty easy to patch, so as soon as I have time and access to a Windows box, I'll be working on that. Probably mid-April.

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).
