Summary: Tagger & Plain.pm inefficient

Initial Comment:
Tagger.pm uses Files::tmpfile to get a file for indexing.  In the plain file case, this is created by copying the existing file into a temporary file.  After indexing the temporary file is then deleted.

Should fix the interface from Tagger.pm to Files.pm to simply get a read-only reference to the file, and close it when no longer needed.  Leave it up to Files.pm to worry about where/how it's on the disk.

Alternatively on Unix systems Plain.pm could just create a hardlink and give that back to Tagger.pm, but this isn't portable.
