File::Temp, SQLite, and OS X

Creating a file on OS X with File::Temp seems to somehow create a lock
that sqlite3 doesn't want to write to:
perl -MFile::Temp -le '$t = File::Temp->new() or die "tmp: $!"; print $n = $t->filename; $r = qx{sqlite3 $n < schema.sql}; print "$@ ($r)"'
This returns "SQL error: database is locked"
My first workaround was to use DBI / DBD::SQLite but the $dbh->do() just
ended up hanging, which I'm assuming is related.
I noted in the internals of File::Temp it doesn't explicitly target OS
X, just Classic...
Anyone seen this / know a way around it that still makes use of
File::Temp and its various cleaning up and safety features?
