Summary: low performance in Files::tmpfile

Initial Comment:
When using Plain.pm the file is copied entirely to the tmp dir.
Would a Symbolic link be enough here at least for UNX?

Maybe the Files module could be changed to supply two methods

AcquireTempFile( ... )
ReleaseTempFile( ... )

AcquireTempFile could then in the case of Plain files just return the original filename while
ReleaseTempFile does nothing. Ths is to avoid unlinking the files if they are no real tempfiles but the 
original.

I could do this but first wanted to hear if there is any problem.
