File::Temp, SQLite, and OS X

[Paul Makepeace]

Hi Matt - What do you mean? The directory is same, /tmp. If I manually
give a filename ('$n="/tmp/AAAAA" in the line below') to sqlite3 of the
same form rather than the one that comes from File::Temp it works.

At the same time, they both work on Linux without a hitch.
