Synopsis

         use File::Fu;
         my $handle = File::Fu->temp_file;

   new
       The directory argument is required, followed by an optional template argument and/or flags.  The template
       may contain some number of 'X' characters.  If it does not, ten of them will be appended.

         my $handle = File::Fu::File::Temp->new($dir, 'foo');
         my $file = $handle->name;

       By default, the file will be deleted when the handle goes out of scope.  Optionally, it may be deleted
       immediately after creation or just not deleted.

         my $handle = File::Fu::File::Temp->new($dir, 'foo', -secure);

         my $handle = File::Fu::File::Temp->new($dir, -noclean);
         # also $handle->noclean;

       -secure
           Delete the named file (if the OS supports it) immediately after opening.

           Calling name() on this sort of handle throws an error.

       -nocleanup
           Don't attempt to remove the file when the $handle goes out of scope.

   name
         my $file_obj = $handle->name;

   nocleanup
       Disable autocleanup.

         $handle->nocleanup;

   write
       Write @content to the tempfile and close it.

         $handle = $handle->write(@content);

   do
       Execute  subref  with $handle as $_.  If you chain this with the constructor, the destructor cleanup will
       happen immediately after sub has returned.

         my @x = $handle->do(sub {something($_->name); ...});

   DESTROY
       Called automatically when the handle goes out of scope.

         $handle->DESTROY;

   XXX
       Constant representing a chunk of X characters.
