this is the only one that comes to mind - Apache::File::tmpfile()
creates a temporary file that lingers for the rest of the request and is
cleaned up automatically via a per-request cleanup.  existing tempfile
tools aren't _exactly_ like this.  sure, it's simple enough to code
yourself, but we used to offer this as part of the bundle...
